Description
Maggie Brodie's latest teaching assignment is a surprise, to say the least. As a retired teacher, she's not exactly thrilled about taking on a supply cover role at a school that seems more interested in its own affairs than its students' well-being.
However, Maggie soon finds herself at odds with the headmaster and the rest of the staff over one student in particular: a quiet, unassuming girl from Somalia who's been accused of being possessed. As Maggie gets to know the girl, she begins to suspect that something is very wrong - and she's determined to uncover the truth.
With her usual no-nonsense attitude, Maggie sets out to protect this vulnerable child, even if it means taking drastic action. But as she delves deeper into the mystery, she may just find herself confronting a situation that's more complex than she ever could have imagined.
