Wow, this book opened my eyes to the reality of living at a boarding school back in the 70s. I fervently hope conditions and teachers are better these days and children don't have to live with such with no recourse.  I swear the next time I hear some kid complain about how bad they have things, I'll give them this book to read.The story centers around an 8 year old boy left in an English boarding school while his parents go off to another country to work.  There are the usual bullies one expects at school but additional trials brought on by living at one's school that the children who attend daily do not have to deal with.  At least they can get away from the bullies and upper levels by going home.  Not so those who must survive the nights.  That should give you a few clues as to what is contained within this story.  A recommended read.
