Synopsis

This is the story of one boy’s fight against the system. When Mike Muncaster boarded at Ashby de la Zouch Boys’ Grammar School from the age of eleven, it was unwillingly. For six and a half years, he kept a diary recording everyday life. Whilst the academic education was first class, boarding was a Dickensian mixture of bullying prefects, boring routine and oppressive regulations. Unable to challenge the harsh regime openly, he could only retain some self-respect by defying authority in subversive ways. Inevitably, this resulted in confrontation. What begins with a tearful, homesick and resentful young schoolboy, ends with a nineteen-year-old eagerly anticipating university.
