The Little Nugget

"The Little Nugget" by P. G. Wodehouse is a light comic thriller set in an English prep school for the children of the nobility and gentry. Into their midst comes eleven-year-old Ogden Ford, the mouthy, overweight, chain-smoking son of an American millionaire. An attempted kidnapping uses tropes of Anglo-American misunderstanding and the absurdities of school life to bring a comedic edge that readers love.
