Pete JOHNSON (2008), Runaway
Teacher , Barrington Stoke
By Daniel Maldonado
Pérez, 1º Bachillerato B EFL
The book is about a teenager called
Scott and a friend of his called Martin. When they're at school they annoy
teachers because they think teachers are boring. But everything changes when MT
(Mark Thompson) arrives as a new teacher and the boys notice that he is
different. MT treats his students as if they were mates and as if he was
another boy. But little by little boys start to affect MT's life and have
adventures with him, ignoring the Headmaster's rules, drinking alcohol and
meeting MT's girlfriend. Boys are going to ruin MT's career as a teacher and as
a person.
The best part is when Scott and
Martin go to MT's house and they drink alcohol. Martin loses control and vomits
in one MT's landlady's carpets. Then MT needs to solve the problem, and Scott
and Martin go back to their homes. This part really impressed me and amazed me
a lot because it's unusual that a teacher offer alcohol to his 14-year-old
students
I recommend this book to teenagers
because it's funny and entertaining to see a teacher behave like his students.
