Jack and his staff struggle to keep a semblance of normality throughout the turbulence of the school terms, as once again the official School Log fails to record what is really going on beneath the seemingly quiet routine.

Jack also finds himself, at last, having to choose between the vivacious sisters Beth and Laura Henderson ...
