It’s almost a year since writers from across Scotland united to publish a book of stories and poems all about lockdown. Hear them share their work, which might resonate with some of your own experiences of staying at home. Have you seen aliens? Had a bad haircut? Celebrated a birthday a bit differently? Some of the stories are serious, some are silly, but they all remind us there’s a rainbow after the storm")

According to Miss Bottomley-Blunt, 4B is the worst class in the world, but Stanley and Manjit didnt mean to make their whole class sick, or for Manjits dog to eat their teacher’s shoes, or for the rat to escape. These things just seem to happen, even when they have a foolproof plan. They might be the worst class in the world, but where else would you want to be?
Join Joanna Nadin as she talks to Vivian French about the hilarious adventures in her new laugh-out-loud series.
