Events, adventure and sheer craziness conspire to bring Tom and the Captain together at the local girls' boarding school, where Aunt Fidget Wonkham-Strong Najork is in the middle of a best-of-three arm-wrestling contest against the Headmistress... A rip-roaring adventure guaranteed to keep the pages turning and the laughs bouncing off the ceiling!

What a fun book! I was familiar with the book that precedes this one, "How Tom Beat Captain Najork and His Hired Sportsmen", but this title was new to me. This sequel is just as much fun as the first if not more. The grown-ups may laugh louder than the kids. Tom is at it again, clever boy and gets the better of the Captain. Silly grown-ups.
