In this third novel about Karla Spicer and her teaching career, we find her in charge of a thousand student Joseph Ward Junior High School in Auckland, New Zealandβs largest city.
This is more than a story of Karlaβs career as it covers her personal life with her husband Ryan and also life of the teachers and students at Joseph Ward Junior High.
After arriving at her new school Karla finds that Deputy Principal Michael White has been selecting more sporty pupils for his own syndicate. Karla stops this but believes the competition between the four school syndicates is at the expense of co-operation. It is as if there are four mini-schools all going their own way.
