P. G. Wodehouse 
The Head of Kay’s 

Like many of Wodehouse's most popular works, The Head of Kay's is set among the British upper class; in this instance, the backdrop of the novel is a boarding school for boys. One dorm that is overseen by the much-maligned Mr. Kay has developed a reputation for hijinks—and with good reason. This good-humored novel is the perfect read with which to while away a lazy afternoon.
