Born and raised in Cork, Ireland, Michelle O’Sullivan completed her B.A. at University College Cork, in 2003, where she achieved joint honours in math and geography. From here, she travelled to the UK, where she attended Keele University and completed her Teacher Training in 2006. Originally a secondary school math teacher, she only remained in secondary for a short time, as she discovered her love of teaching lay elsewhere. Again, she returned to Ireland, where she completed her master’s in Teaching and Learning in Further and Higher Education. For many years afterwards she taught primary aged children, enjoying the diverse curriculum at this level. She now teaches in Further Education where she utilises the skills gained from her masters. Teaching and learning are a true passion of hers and she wants to help young minds realise their full potential, as she has.
Jess Perkins is young, in high school and living an ordinary life until the arrival of a handsome new teacher, Mr Thompson. Upon Mr Thompson’s arrival life takes a peculiar turn, as this new teacher has a somewhat perturbing past. With his new neighbours and colleagues unaware of his past, can this man find solace in this new neighbourhood and in the new life he is trying to create for himself?
Jess’ life, however, isn’t without its disturbances either. Like most teenage girls, she is so absorbed in her own life that she has no idea what is heading her way. What ensues is not the stuff of dreams as she might have hoped but more like the stuff of nightmares.
Squiggle is a young octopus who loves playing with his friends, especially his friend Joel. Joel is a clown fish who likes to tell silly jokes. One day, like all young sea creatures, Squiggle goes to school. He’s very excited and can’t wait to learn lots of new and surprising things.
At school, Squiggle’s teacher sets his class a challenge – it’s a scavenger hunt that they need to complete. Squiggle has never done a scavenger hunt before but he’s keen and determined to do really well.
He swims away in search of all the items he needs to find…
But who will learn the greatest lesson at the end: Squiggle, his teacher, his class, or you?
