About this audiobook
A mild-mannered schoolmaster takes a position at an isolated academy, only to discover that his most exasperating pupil is the target of a high-stakes kidnapping plot. The boy, a wealthy American heir, proves to be a terror to his teachers but a magnet for bumbling criminals and rival ransom seekers. The quiet academic environment quickly devolves into a hilarious siege, complete with secret codes, nighttime ambushes, and a desperate fight for survival. The reluctant hero must outwit a gang of eccentric villains to protect his maddening charge.
