Full Description
Middlewood County High School is a failing 'seat of learning' near Manchester. As the work force braces itself for another week of confrontation, an inane conversation about wasted weekends drops into something more significant. Instead of marking time and books until the next school holiday, a few chance remarks provide some with a new focus. It emerges that no one has a good word for the Head - the inappropriately named Mr Wright.
The dour Ron Sidebottom, the charismatic Fred O'Nions and the formidable Mary Mee quickly gather damning evidence to show their 'leader' isn't competent enough to lead a conga. However, securing a vote of no confidence proves as problematic as eating soup with a fork.
Inspired by the author's own long career in teaching, Mutiny in the County is a fresh and original comic novel that provides an insight into the secret world of the secondary school staff room.
