Cover Story
There was a boy called Thomas Mead
Who never ever learned to read.
"l wish you would!" his teacher sighed
"Why should l?" Thomas Mead replied.
The Tale of Thomas Mead (Bodley Head 0 370 30357 1, £3.25, January 1981) which is a positive and hilarious answer to `Why should I?' Pat says, `I liked the idea because both my children found reading difficult.' We are delighted to have Thomas Mead on our cover and Pat Hutchins in the Authorgraph (p. 14). For more see the Editor's Page in this issue.
First Term at Trebizon
Second Term at Trebizon
Summer Term at Trebizon
Rebecca Mason's transfer from the local comprehensive to the famous boarding school by the sea is plausible enough: Mr Mason has a job in Saudi Arabia and school fees go with it. After that it's pure School Friend: loyalty and undying friendship with 'the Six', misunderstandings, intrigue and deception from other girls with despicable motives, hockey, the school magazine, the music scholarship, charity week, the temporary Maths master with a passion for surfing and something to hide. Absolutely nothing to do with the day-to-day experiences of your average second-year. Nevertheless one of them read all four in one day, looked around for more and went off to recommend them to her friends.
