Description

Habitual teenage delinquent Wayne Banstead is expelled from yet another school for sticking up the tuck shop. He finds himself hauled off to Gafin School for Misdirected Boys: a 'special school' for 'special children'. It plays host to the worst of the worst, the cream of teenage offending - thieves, bullies, arsonists and flashers. The teachers should have their work cut out, but things aren't quite what they seem at Gafin School. Far from rehabilitating the boys, the teachers seem intent on instructing them in how to get away with things...

Professional reviews

"'A corker of a novel... great, swindling fun.' TIME OUT 'The perfect antidote to Hogwarts fever.' DAILY SPORT 'Wayne hates school. At least, Wayne hates normal school. For normal children. Where normal life begins. That's not for him. And it's not for the other pupils of Gafin School for Misdirected Boys either. They are the flotsam and jetsam of Year Eleven; the scum that clogged the drains of the Comprehensive system. But now they've been scooped out and dumped into a single sceptic pond for one final term. Out of sight and out of mind is the theory, but they're coming back with a bang. Only this time the kid gloves are off. Dave John brings to life a boy's own adventure of mischief, mayhem and museums as the adult Wayne Banstead recalls the events that turned him and a gang of spotty teenage delinquents into underworld legends.'
