Escaping an abusive relationship Lizzie and her son Tom have moved far away to start a new life away from Toms father, but there's something strange about Toms new school. Bars on the windows and gates are padlocked once children are inside. What is going on? 

Don't Tell Teacher kept me on edge throughout the read, tension building until I could barely take anymore. I loved the realistic view of social services and the clever plot. My only issue with this book was the children speaking like adults, Lloyd is supposed to be ten but was impossible to imagine him being younger than his late teens. Same complaint about Tom as well. Overall a 4 out of 5.

Lizzie and her son Tommy have escaped an abusive relationship and starting fresh in a new town. The school that social services have placed Tommy at is like a prison and when Tommy starts to act strangely and become ill the school is to blame. 

This book was not what I expected and the ending was brilliant! The only drawback was Tommy is 7 but speaks like an older child then reverts to a younger child but that’s more me being the mum of a 10 year old and probably wishing my son was as eloquent!
