Chapter One
IT was one of those Friday afternoons at
school when you seriously think about
calling Childline.
I mean, a spelling test at ten to three. If
that’s not cruelty then I don’t know what is.
“The first word is...” Miss Morris flicked
through one of her tatty old spelling books.
Some pages fell out on to the floor.
We all laughed.
“Mississippi.”
We all groaned.
Mrs-what? It was a river wasn’t it? And
she was expecting us to spell that on a
Friday afternoon. She had to be joking.
