Book description
Puddleducks Playgroup has been run successfully for several years.
Now, with an opportunity to prove herself Gemma Merryfield can't wait
to take over running it in September. But the arrival of the new head
of the infant school, Joe Balls soon tempers her enjoyment. Ex-banker
Joe has been employed to bring the school back up to scratch, and that
includes intefering with Gemma and her playgroup. Gemma adores her
unruly group of children, and she can even find affection for the
parents, but Joe's inteference is the last thing she needs.
Meanwhile, Nancy is in turmoil. Her only son has just started
playgroup and her husband has taken a temporary posting to Vietnam.
Even before he left, there hadn't been much hope of conceiving her
much-wanted second child. And with Danny gone for most of the day,
what on earth is she meant to do now? Does she have the strength to
find herself again, and maybe make some friends along the way?
Little do any of them realise what a tumultuous term it is going to be...
