"Miss, who's that funny man at the back of the classroom?" So begins school-inspector Gervaise Phinn's second year among the frankly spoken pupils and teachers of North Yorkshire. The sight of Gervaise calmly getting out his notebook and pen provokes unexpected reactions from children and adults alike. He finds himself unwillingly playing the stooge to Mrs Peterson's class of juniors, confronting Mr Swan, whose hunger for lunchtime exceeds his appetite for English, and alarmingly disarmed by a pupil unsure whether he is learning French or German."
