The pressure mounts in an unforgettable school trip to Paris, prejudice spreading through the school and to the school's Board of Governors as they ruthlessly oppose the new Head. They will stop at nothing to get their way. In his effort to strive to support the Headmaster's goals, Jonathan will have to overcome far more than an oath of silence executed by his enemies to prevail...
