It Wasn't Me


by Creina Mansfield

Blue Flag: For readers aged 10+
Blue Flag: For readers aged 10+

When Ronan, the school bully, turns his attentions to Jack, Jack knows he has to think fast to save his skin. He comes up with the idea of a twin brother, a tough, fearless, not-to-be-messed-with twin brother who, he says, attends a different school. But when the other boys begin to doubt his claims, Jack's twin needs to put in an appearance. The situation snowballs as Jack struggles to keep up the lie of being two people at once. What will happen when the other boys, and Ronan, find out he has deceived them?

An original and very funny take on the difficulties of school life with an unusual and sensitive twist at the end.

Praise for It Wasn't Me

'Creina Mansfield is a marvellous author for children of age 10+ and this offering will keep them entranced.' Woman's Way

'Ms Mansfield has a very accurate ear for classroom banter. Mr Abbott, the teacher, is a wonderful creation. The book should appeal to readers of the nine to eleven age group, particularly boys.' Books Ireland

'An appealing, funny story of oneupmanship against the odds.' The Sunday Tribune
