'The Turbulent Term Of Tyke Tiler' is considered one of the children's classics of the twentieth century. The central character Tyke is best friends with Danny Price and wherever they go, trouble isn't far behind. Their exploits during their last term at Cricklepit drive the Head to despair and provide a few surprises for the reader - including one in the very last paragraph which encourages us to question our deepest assumptions about gender and behaviour.
