The kids at Koala Hills Primary are in Grade five. Follow the school year, from getting detention on the first day to the end-of-year carols by candlelight. Providing different interpretations of the same event, the characters become more opinionated as the year rolls on.
Apparently, I've now read this three times?! So glad to be rereading this as an adult; there's so much more to enjoy with some maturity of years behind you. I love the school newsletters in this one although did no-one notice that the mock photo of the parents at the Carols by Candelight event (p. 118 in my edition) is actually a real-life photo featuring Playboy bunnies?! Truly! It's like there's little Easter eggs for adults sprinkled all throughout this series; love it. Such delightful and naughty comfort reading.
