An Inch at a Time. Heidi Belleau, Amelia C. Gormley.Arc supplied by Netgalley.A fun read, I hadn't realised it was so short though at 60 pages. I'm not usually a short story reader, but this was a fun quick read. The description gives a decent summary so what did I think about it? James, looking for a quick way to up his history grade he approaches the professor having heard suggestions about him being a bit "alternative" in his ways..... I loved the way he came on to the Professor and got a quick knock back. It was an intro into how spectacular Professor Carson  is at mind games. Knock back, hint at more openness then another knock til poor James wasn't sure what he was saying or agreeing to. The theme continued over the "study" sessions. James learned well, and in a Very unusual carrot and stick ( or ruler ) way :) James gets to the pint where despite his initial reservations he's not sure if the punishment or the treat is what he wants most - win- win! The Professor, well aware of his reputation and careful how he plays it. An interesting man, and very good at the mind games psychology stuff.Like I said, a fun read but not long enough to really get to know the people. Its like reading a complete section from a book, not the whole book to me. I can see on Amazon there's a further novel involving James and The Prof and that sounds another fun short read. I can't find it on Amazon so I've no pricing info.Stars: four from me.
