The War of Jenkins' EarSome wars are not fought on battlegrounds. This Toby discovers when a new boy, Simon Christopher, comes to Redlands School. Stubborn and independent, yet a peacemaker, Simon stands up to the headmaster, teachers, the star rugby player, and everyone else. Then Simon confides a secret about who he really is, a secret so big Toby can't keep it. |
