About this book

A new pupil at Torrington's school unsettles boys who judge a classmate by his clothes and family background. Horace Howard has won a county scholarship, and his strong classroom performance makes the established pupils uneasy. Leonard Morrison discusses the newcomer with his sister Florence, hoping to find a way to push him out. Their conversation exposes the difference between defending a school's reputation and treating another child fairly.

Emma Leslie builds this children's novel around schoolwork, peer pressure and the courage needed to challenge a popular boy. Warren's support for Horace brings him into conflict with Taylor, while the other pupils debate loyalty and fair play.
