Customer Reviews

Simply a fantastic read!
Having lived in a small village for the first 18 years of my life, reading this book was like re-living those moments over again. It was a really great read. Its nothing flashy and doesnt pretend to be anything it isnt. Highly enjoyable. Cant wait to read the follow up book Mister Teacher!

A delightful engrossing read
It was by happy chance that I came across Jack Sheffield's "Teacher Teacher" recently. The well drawn characters and situations they find themselves in are completely believeable to the point where I am eager to know how they fare. Before I had finished reading this first book I had purchased "Mister Teacher" and am finding it as entertaining as the first. These books are already becoming valued friends.
