It is the Easter term at Linbury Court School and the irrepressible Jennings is trying hard to, earn a reward promised by his Aunt Agatha. He has to write an entry in his diary every single day for a whole year. But his January entries suffer from a lack of things to write about. Events such as "Got up ... Had breakfast ... Did some things ... Went out... Came back... Did some more things" do not offer much scope to the budding diarist.

Then Jennings and his best friend Darbishire concoct a secret code and things really begin to happen. There is the hair raising bicycle ride . . . the present for Matron..., the nasty incident over Old Wilkies mark book... the attic collection of "finds" . . . and the priceless Roman chariot wheel which Jennings and Darbishire dig up for it ... and what trouble that lands them in!

Another of Anthony Buckeridge's well known and much loved books about Jennings and his friends, whose adventures have already been told on television, radio, films, records, in stage plays and on cassette. The books have been translated into twelve languages and sold more than three million copies. Now they have been completely re-edited by the author, so a new generation of young readers will revel in each really funny story about Jennings and his adventures.
