Synopsis

When friend Danny steals a tenner and Dad stands for the local council, it's only the start of a turbulent term for Tyke Tiler.

And with the discovery of a disused mill, a smelly old marrow bone, a runaway mouse called Fatty, and a conveniently abandoned stack of test papers, Tyke certainly makes this term one to remember... BLNew, innovative activities specifically tailored to support the KS3 Framework for Teaching English and help students to fulfil the Framework objectives.

Activities include work on Speaking and Listening, close text analysis, and the structure of playscripts, and act as a springboard for personal writing
