Taylor's Troubles (Paperback)

You may start high school intending to be good, but if you try to be as tough as the Hood, keep notes in your socks in exams and always mess around, then you'll only end up in trouble. In this funny, deadly-accurate account of his first year at high school, Tommy Taylor learns his lesson all too well... 'In Lowell Tarling's funny Taylor's Troubles, Tommy Taylor is in his first year at secondary school, in the middle of every misfortune in his class, forever hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.' The Oxford Companion To Australian Children's Literature 'A very funny Australian story...thoroughly recommended.' Victorian Association for the Teaching of English 'Humour, frustration, intrigue and not a little curiosity about the opposite sex.' Newcastle Herald 'Taylor's Troubles is permeated with school atmosphere. The slapstick humour of young students, the classroom antics and frustrated teachers will ring true for many readers. This book demonstrates peer group pressure very well. It also shows how children respond to teachers, their own cliques and to others who may be different. Upper primary - Lower secondary.'
