Phoney War

Phoney War: Book 2 in The Brantholme Years Series Phoney War is the follow-up to Fighting Talk, a series of humourous novels set in the 1970s that recount the misfortunes of George Tomlinson, a war-film obsessed school kid with a fondness for flared trousers, mullet haircuts and boiled-egg sandwiches. It's Term 2 at Brantholme Junior High School and for George Tomlinson and his mates 1976 has arrived with a bang. An epic snowball fight breaks out, which is a bit of a problem because Wacker Walker, the Headmaster of Brantholme, has banned snowballing but where there's a will there's a way. A school trip has also been advertised by Mr Bennett, to Adventure Camp, which is right up George's alley but how will he get the money to go? And how will he survive at Adventure Camp, a place of desolation, where shops, TV and a plug for his hairdryer don't exist...? To cap it all Wacker has gone all artistic and wants to organise a school orchestra while Baz Grouse has gone all nuclear and arranged a death match with the Brantholme Estate's foremost maniac Nobby Shuster... Who said school was boring? Action Stations (The Brantholme Years Term 3) is now available on Amazon. M.D. Eyre is the author of Burnfield, a horror novel and Tabnit Gisgo, a historical fiction series set at the time of Alexander the Great. Action Stations, the third and final part of The Brantholme Years trilogy, will be available in August 2012.
