Martini-on-the Rocks and other stories

Susan Gregory
(Puffin Books)
978-0140317626, RRP £1.75, Mass Market Paperback
14+ Secondary/Adult
Buy "Martini-on-the-rocks and Other Stories (Puffin Books)" on Amazon

This should be quite a popular and useful collection. Eight stories of schoolkids with a good mixture of dilemmas and interest for boys and girls. I found it a bit Grange Hillish at first (sorry, fans) but I came to like the boy gets girl stories and Cindy's defiance of her doting elderly parents and fat Kelvin, gaining popularity by forging merits for others but then finding he actually likes to win them by his own hard work. Certainly buy a single copy - you might even want a set.
