This is a story of public-school life. This is book about life in a boys' boarding school. It starts off with the entry to the school of a little new boy, not quite eleven years old, who also happens to have an older brother in the school. Steevie is appointed to be the fag of one Loman, and as the story unfolds we begin to see life through the eyes of the older boy. There is an interesting moment when Steevie refuses to do the work of fag to Loman, and is soundly beaten up for his refusal. No library descriptions found. |

I generally don't love British boarding school stories, but this one surprised me. The characters are instantly likable (or, in a couple of instances, instantly detestable in the best way), the plot is engaging and fun (there's an interesting mystery that's not easy to solve and gets resolved in a very satisfactory way), and the pacing is good. Definitely recommended, if you like this sort of thing. ( )
