-
Oriana Bliss, Head of Maths and master of disguise
-
Joscelyn Spryke, the suspiciously rugged Head of PE
-
Geography teacher Mavis Brook, surreptitiously selling off the library books
-
Creepy night watchman Max Security, with his network of hidden tunnels
-
Even McPhee, the school cat, is leading a double life.
Tucked away in the school's beautiful private estate in the Cotswolds, can Gemma stay safe and build a new independent future?
With a little help from her new friends, including some worldly-wise pupils, she's going to give it her best shot...
