A classic children-s book from best-loved Bill''s New Frock author, former Children-s Laureate Anne Fine. Perfect for readers aged between 7 and 9 and fans of The Midnight Gang and Pamela Butchart''s Wigglesbottom Primary series.It-s Ivan-s first day at his new school, and Boris is told to look after him, and translate for him, because Ivan can only speak Russian. After all, St Edmund-s is a civilized school. Only problem is, Ivan isn-t civilized. So when Ivan starts greeting people as -lowly shivering worms-, and asking for words in English like -crush- and -mutilate-, Boris realises that he-s going to have his work cut out for him. And that-s just the start of the day -Anne Fine-s fun school stories have been delighting children for more than 20 years, winning her awards such as the Smarties Book Award and Carnegie Medal along the way.
