His reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save what is a fast-sinking school from closure. Janna is young, pretty, enthusiastic and vastly brave - and she will do anything to rescue her demoralised, run-down and cash-strapped school. Neither parents nor staff of either school are too keen on this radical move, although some can see the possible financial advantages. For the students, however, it offers great opportunities to get up to even more mayhem than usual. From the PublisherTwo schools - both in leafy Larkshire, but worlds apart. The incomparable Jilly Cooper turns her brilliant pen to the explosive world of education. See all Product Description

Full review
Being a huge fan of JC, I rushed out to buy this as soon as I knew it was out. It's another brilliant novel by Jilly Cooper, about a head teacher brought in to turn around a failing comprehensive school. She joins forces with a local public school and the fun starts there! Some of the characters from Jilly Cooper's previous novels make an appearance, such as the utterly handsome Rupert Campbell-Black and his adorable second wife, Taggie and we finally get to know their two adopted children, Bianca and Xavier who are both now at posh Bagley Hall; the awful Hermione Harefield makes a return, as does her son Cosmo, who is now a very machevillian 14 year old and seems to take after his late father, the evil conductor Roberto Rannaldini. There are also some great new characters and Jilly Cooper manages to intertwine them effortlessly.

I love Jilly Cooper's books - you can read them over and over again and still laugh out loud. I always end up caring greatly about what happens to the characters and am never disappointed. Wicked is a brilliant novel and well worth a read, as are the rest of her books.
