You woke up a bit late, the car broke down, you had to go back for forgotten sports kit, homework, a sibling - if you happen to be late for school it'll usually be for one of these reasons and all you have to deal with is a stressed parent. John Patrick Norman McH has to fight his way through all kinds of adventures with weather and wild animals. This book is fun to read aloud with someone else, several times over. You can take turns being the innocent schoolboy and the increasingly irate cane-wielding school-master - and it has a most satisfactory ending.
