In this book are three lively stories, each told by a different pupil from Hooley Street Primary School. The traumas of new boy Gavin Lee Griffiths begin before he even gets to school, when his path is blocked by a monstrous dog, The Hell Hound of Hooley Street. Jason Burrows's story concerns the class bully, Parnell, who claims to be scared of nothing. Finally, Emma is determined to prove that she's no duffer, when Doctor Slime splits her class in two and puts her in Group B. Jon Blake is the author of several books for young people, including the novels "Geoffrey's First"; "Holiday in Happy Street" and "The King of Rock and Roll", as well as the picture books "Daley B" and "Impo".
