I haven't been aware of a strong Mill Green following, but should there be one this is Book 4. It's a fairly predictable and undemanding read, a bit short on innovation, but unlikely to disappoint fans. The Mill Green mob are not going to get their swimming pool due to the cuts and the designated land is likely to be sold off for warehouses. The answer of course is to galvanise the school into action to raise the £6,000 which will make the council change their minds and provide the pool. Give or take the odd dissenter the enthusiasm is infectious, even amongst the staff, and a motley selection of good fund-raising activities ensure, dogged only by a curse!
