Funny and clever. Makes you laugh and think too. Your must-read book. Every person - young and old should read it to relax, have good time, but also learn.

This was a nothing fantastic book in this funny, uplifting and heart-warming MG series. St Grizzle's School is unlike any you will ever come across, but it is definitely one you will wish you could attend.

Karen's characters are loveable and full of life and I was sucked into this book from the get-go. I would most definitely recommend it to MG readers and will be encouraging my pupils to give this series a go.

Another funny and exciting adventure for the pupils of this very unusual school. It is the sort of place that most of us would have liked to attend despite the somewhat eccentric staff.

St Grizzle’s isn’t your average boarding school; more like a modern St Trinian’s, there is a lack of structure and it’s like one big dysfunctional family. This is the third book in the series, but it was still easy to get into and follow the story.

I do feel a bit let down by this title; it was fairly good to begin with but then just felt a bit lacklustre. I don’t know whether if I was a younger reader I may have enjoyed it more; my main issue was just the lack of story and silliness of the whole thing, but, at the same time, I still adore stories about boarding schools and feel like so much more could have happened.

That all said, Karen McCombie is a good author and her writing style is very easy to get into. I think this would appeal more to reluctant readers in the 9-12 category due to the nature of the story and it not being too challenging a read.
