The Ice Cream Terrorist by Mike Leaver

The Ice Cream Terrorist by Mike Leaver

Two forcibly segregated, separate sex, and rurally isolated schools are inhabited by malevolent masters, petrified pupils, more-kindly matrons, and a handful of true heroes – including The Ice Cream Terrorist. This titanic tale of redemption shows how pupils and staff – blighted by dysfunctional, post-war, orphanage schools in Britain – escape and reform the brutal system. Join their journey through school suffering, then on a road trip to a coastal idyll full of kindness, safety, and real-life skills, and eventually different lives. Free from oppression with more enlightened care, they create progressive futures. Mike Leaver’s epic saga spans two decades, England and Wales, and many major themes of 20th century life – such as homelessness, rebelliousness, lesbian love, and loyalty. Mike is really experienced at escaping from State boarding school, and so aspects of his personal life feature – and are sometimes exaggerated – in the travails and adventures of his larger-than-life, fictional pupils!

Mike Leaver, 70, lives off-grid in a converted, static truck on a business park in Snowdonia. As well as writing his autobiography and first three modern-fiction novels – largely on a laptop by candlelight in his lorry – he has finished penning the second part of his life story. Like Alan Bennett’s the Lady in the Van, Mike has become a well-known eccentric around his adopted home of Gwynedd.
