After a routine school inspection - and a rather brutal report - culminates with a teacher being forced into early retirement, Gervase is left feeling his year hasnt exactly begun on the right foot. Publisher Description Reissued with a beautiful new jacketWhats your name? I asked the child.Tequila, she replied. Im named after a drink.Tequila Sunrise, I murmured.No, pouted the child. Tequila Braithwaite.Now in his fourth year as an Inspector for English in the Yorkshire Dales, Gervase Phinn still relishes visiting the schools - whether an inner-city comprehensive fraught with difficulties or a small Dales Primary school where the main danger is one of closure. With endless good humour, he copes with the little surprises that occur round every corner.Some things never change- Mrs Savage roars, Connie rants, and Gervases colleague in the office play verbal ping-pong. But all this can be put behind him each day when he returns home to his lovely wife, Christine, who is expecting their first baby.This charming montage of experiences will keep you amused and will win a place in your heart.
