Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A fascinating and timely 'reality check' for one of Tony Blair's closest advisors. Hyman decided, after six years at number 10, to test his belief in politics and New Labour by entering into the world of a tough London comprehensive. He had to cope with a disruptive detention class, hostile teachers and twelve thousand teenagers amongst other things. He explores this change, and provides an insider's account of leadership - a Prime Minister and a Head Teacher. This has major serial potential and will receive massive review coverage.

Publisher's description:

Contrasting the political world of big decisions that affect millions, and the small daily judgements that shape the chances of our children, this is an insider's account of leadership - a Prime Minister and a Head Teacher. What makes someone want that kind of responsibility? And what makes them good at it.
