Pointy-Enders

About the Book

Dodging flying chairs, wrestling screaming, abusive children and dealing with  angry parents.

This is part of the daily fare for Hugo Walker who fights crime and violence every day.

His beat is not the cruel streets but the classrooms, corridors and playgrounds of Kookaburra Primary School.  Hugo is part of the rapid response group charged with keeping children and staff safe from harm.

It is a big job.

Travel with Hugo behind the scenes.  Join him in his quest to bring order to the chaos as he provides a sense of caring in an increasingly uncaring world.
