{"product_id":"rydon-hall-ben-gardener-9781999596385","title":"Rydon Hall","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharles Goldforbes is the new Latin teacher at Rydon Hall, the third best boys' prep school in Churley, south-west London. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with the job come two related problems. One is the hideous Florian Bavington, aged 13 but already a master of low-level disruption. The other is the disturbingly alluring Natasha Bavington, Florian's mother. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrama unfolds as Charles accompanies Florian and the rest of Year 8 on the annual school trip to Egypt, a country which just happens to be on the brink of revolution. The Arab Spring is underway but the tour party's problems are only just beginning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRydon Hall captures brilliantly the spirit of an all-boys' school - and those who teach there. The recklessness and over-confidence of Florian and his friends are in turn both hilarious and exasperating. Very funny but also very dark, this novel is about desperation, disappointment, self-delusion and every parent's worst nightmare. It is also about global terror, bogus celebrity, Skype and excruciating sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Gardener\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1999596382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781999596385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heddon Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Ben Gardener","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486735315199,"sku":"9781999596385","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53833c84-e251-44b1-a3b5-6bdde005abe6.jpg?v=1778056500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rydon-hall-ben-gardener-9781999596385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
