The Inspectors Call

Alex is a normal, happy nine year old pupil at Milton Court Primary School who unwittingly causes major problems for his recently appointed Head Teacher, Mrs. Pew, who has aspirations of becoming an inspector in the near future. The obstacles he puts in her way are never deliberate. He just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time all too often. His best friend in the world is his eighty year old great grandmother commonly known to all as "Granny", who becomes public enemy number one to Mrs. Pew. Somehow, between them, they manage to thwart all her plans for recognition while only harbouring the best of intentions until she receives a letter advising her of a forthcoming week long inspection. To Mrs. Pew this is the answer to a prayer, the best possible opportunity to show the world her readiness to move on to greater things but from day one very little goes right.
