An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
This is a satire on modern city life depicting the fierce war waged by pushcart peddlers and the city's children against the menacing bully trucks.
