Description

Ishmael has made it to the Senior School and things are really looking up. His nemesis and chief tormentor Barry Bagsley has finally decided to leave him alone, while his dream girl and chief goddess Kelly Faulkner has finally decided not to. Has he broken free of Ishmael Leseur's Syndrome at last? Could his remaining two years at St Daniel's College actually be described as 'normal'? Absolutely not. Ishmael's mates critique the Ishmael books: Ignatius Prindabel: I found 37 factual errors. show more Scobie: Harry Potter for those with an IQ higher than the mean. Bill Kingsley: Funnier than the Arcturian Grendel-Worm. Razzman: Short on chicks, that's all I'm saying. show less

This one was better than the second one and very, very funny. I laughed out loud so many times! It's Ishmael's last 2 years of school and he and his friends want to win the House comp for their favorite teacher. This results in them being involved in all sorts of different school activities to acrue points. There's a little bit of an issue with one of his friends deciding to 'Come out" and also all the usual girl troubles. As a teacher at an all boys school, I can really relate to the atmosphere, the teachers, the language the boys use and the types of characters that Bauer has created. Loads of fun and a great read.
