SAVING MISS MIRABELLE

The cover of 'Saving Miss Mirabelle'

Lancelot's lovely teacher, Miss Mirabelle, is in big trouble.

She's told a giant whopper and unless she can come up with a brilliant plan, she's going to look very, very silly.
Can Lancelot help this damsel in distress?
Little does he know that Ivan will leave a lasting influence, and that he himself will never enjoy listening to nursery rhymes ever again.



"... this entirely charming tale of an unconventional teacher, a suspicious head, an imainative class and a cooperative cow..."

Gerald Haigh, the Times Educational Supplement

"Anne Fine has a comic style all of her own...her characters are enjoyably eccentric.."

Pete Johnson, Bucks Herald
