|rating=4.5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=There's an old joke that, for parents, there are only two good days in the school holidays - the first and the last, but in St Ambrose the ''real'' work begins when the children go back to school at the start of the new school year. There's a new head at the school (and he'll have to be knocked into shape) but the real power is Beatrice - 'Bea' to those whom she elects to call friends for the time being - who rules the parents, decides who is in or out and what status they should have in the community. And how does she do it? Well, she's the queen.
