'This is a peace house,' reads the notice on the Williamses front
door. But as Sara says, 'Who needs nukes? We got Dad.' Dad
certainly is noisy, a genial but dangerous thunderstorm. Ma, though
less alarming, is voluble in the extreme, living in a world of good
causes and positive thinking. Sara - beautiful, clever and
efficient - is everyone's ideal girl. And Pete takes refuge in his
bedroom, with his elderly pets, ancient magazines and cassette
player, and just tries to shut it all out. The day his O-Level
results arrive he has more reason than usual to retreat from life.
And yet - partly because of the forgotten toast under the lighted
grill - that's the very day that Pete begins to emerge into the new
world of sixth form college, astounded to find himself the centre
of a group that includes gorgeous Verna, confident Nick, crazy
Claire and, unfortunately, Oliver and his henchman Kenny. No Place
Like is Gene Kemp's first novel for teenagers, but displays that
unique combination of riotous comedy, human sympathy and natural
realism that has made books such as The Turbulent Term of Tyke
Tiler so beloved by young readers.
