Description
It is guaranteed to grab and hold the attention of your students. Caroline hasn't made a good start at secondary school. Her parents think that doing well is all that matters, but that's not how some of her 'friends' see it! And standing up to one of them just gets her into trouble with the teachers. Can she find an answer? This work is intended for 11-14 year olds.
Reviews / Votes
'The issue at the centre of this lively play is truanting. Apart from providing entertainment, the material should focus attention on the causes and consequences of truanting, promote discussion and, perhaps, alleviate problems... The play closes on an optimistic note and there is plenty of humour. A cast of 30 very varied characters means a whole class can be involved. Every senior school library should have one copy, but a set of 30 would be an even better investment.' The School Librarian 'This new play about truanting .. is unlike many other plays for young people in that it has already been tried and tested on stage. The play lends itself both to production and reading. It dramatises the issue of truanting in an accessible way which should provoke thought and discussion.' Young People NowMore details
