Action Stations is the third and final part of The Brantholme Years, a comedy trilogy set in the 1970s, when mobile phones, Facebook and Twitter didn't exist. There were, however, vinyl records, ice-cream vans, free public toilets and teachers who used to throw blackboard rubbers at you.
For George Tomlinson there's only one term left at Brantholme Junior High and although Donna James still doesn't want to go out with him that might change on the School Trip. There's also a Biology lesson to look forward to with The Most Boring Teacher in the World and a family holiday to the Lake District- although his mum and dad have decided to invite a witch along which might complicate matters a bit.
And then there's Barry Grouse, school hardcase and champion marble player, and Baz has plans for George and his mates, plans which end up with our hero taking part in the Battle of Big Hill...
Fighting Talk (The Brantholme Years Term 1) and Phoney War (The Brantholme Years Term 2) are available on Amazon.
