After two years in  the job, Andy Seed returns to Cragthwaite brimming with confidence and  looking forward to a year that is bound to bring its own rewards, as  well as its share of mishaps and misadventures. But even he didn't  anticipate exploding piggy banks, bottle-rocket missiles, and actually  deafening Dracula. At home, Andy and Barbara are enjoying life with  little Tom, and are expecting again. Meanwhile, a new friendship is  formed with hill farmer Adam. Adam proves both an inspiration and a  confidante for Andy, and through him he begins to see the light with  troubled Sheena. The second in Andy's trilogy about life as a Yorkshire  Dales teacher, this is as warm, witty and refreshing as the first, full  of colourful anecdotes from village and school life.\u003cbr\u003eAndy Seed is beginning his fifth year teaching at Cragthwaite Primary  in the Yorkshire Dales, and as always a new term is full of surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eALL TEACHERS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL: These  take the form of a beautiful, but not terribly bright, student on  placement from the local teacher training college, and a particularly  pushy and problematic parent with a fine line in complaining. It looks  like Andy's pupils are the least of his problems...\u003cbr\u003eAt  home in Applesett, things aren't all rosy either. Barbara is forced to  take a job as a postie to help pay the mortgage, which means finding  someone to look after Tom and Reuben. When two old friends move into the  village it looks like the problem has been solved, but it soon  transpires that rural life is not for everyone.\u003cbr\u003eAs  always the book is peppered with the hilarious and heartwarming  incidents that a life living and working with children inevitably  contains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Headline Book Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47170030403824,"sku":"9781472233417","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472233417_p0.jpg?v=1763597861","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472233417","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
