About this listen
From the prize-winning author of Trash and Dog, Ribblestrop is sure the delight the most mischievous among us.
When your school’s motto is ‘Life is dangerous’, you know that anything can happen - and everything does!
There’s no school that’s quite like Ribblestrop, complete with roofless dormitories, distracted teachers and a perilous underground labyrinth. And then there are the students! You’ll meet Sanchez, a Colombian gangster’s son hiding from kidnappers; Millie, an excluded arsonist and self-confessed wild child; Caspar, the landlady’s spoiled grandson; the helpful but hapless Sam and his best friend, Ruskin, plus a handful of orphans from overseas who are just happy to have beds - even if they are located in a roofless part of the building....

Tom Hollander is brilliant
I bought this book solely on the basis of Tom Hollander’s narration of a Diane Wynne Jones book - Conrad’s Fate. He is my favourite narrator of children’s books. Some British actors are just superlative at character voices. As for the story, well I’m a bit of a sucker for the pure escapism of children’s literature. You need to be able to enjoy a tall story with a lot of improbable silliness - in the vein of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. There are some interesting characters here, mostly male. I particularly enjoyed Captain Routon. I also like the empathy tor delinquent characters like Millie,
