Life at Scornwell's School for Difficult Children is cruel for the few boarders there. Overseen by the ruthless Mr Hemlock, there is little mercy for even the teaching staff. When the grisly discovery of the body of Mr Plumridge, the caretaker, reaches both teachers and students alike, Timothy, a plucky upstart with a curious disposition, along with his friends Ella, and Barnabus, take it upon themselves to investigate. With Mr Hemlock concerned for the welfare of his school should the news reach the outside of Scornwell's, and the childrens' suspicions growing by the hour, accusations fly and tensions rise, until the culprit is finally revealed during a heated climax within the cafeteria. Set entirely within the four walls of Scornwell's School, this light-hearted romp keeps you guessing until the very end, whilst encountering some unusual and hilarious characters along the way.
