Tyke Tiler and Danny Price are best friends, much to the despair of the headmaster of Cricklepit Combined School - because wherever the pair go, trouble is never far behind. There are surprises galore in this story about their last term, when Tyke tries to help Danny stay out of trouble.

The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler is considered one of the children's classics of the twentieth century. The central character Tyke is best friends with Danny Price and wherever they go, trouble isn't far behind. Their exploits during their last term at Cricklepit drive the Head to despair and provide a few surprises for the reader - including one which encourages us to question our deepest assumptions about gender and behaviour.
