Back to School

The year is 1969 and Jack Sheffield is a young teacher in need of a job.<br/><br/>In a room full of twenty-nine other newly qualified teachers, he's overjoyed when he's appointed to Heather View Primary. Jack is excited to start his first year there and to begin shaping young minds in a beautiful new location on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.<br/><br/>But Heather View isn't as idyllic as it first sounds. In fact, it looks more like a prison than a primary school. With less than adequate funding and a head teacher who doesn't seem to care, it's no easy task to give the kids the education they deserve. But Jack's determined to do just that.<br/><br/>Full of warmth and good humour, Back to School is like taking a nostalgic walk through the past to a simpler time...<br/>_____________________<br/><br/>What readers are saying:<br/><br/>***** 'I felt I was transported back in time.
