Bravo in resolving rookie excess where pupils present work (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
exercise books
'pupils present work' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'bravo in resolving rookie excess' is the wordplay.
'bravo' becomes 'b' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'resolving' indicates an anagram.
'rookie'+'excess'='rookieexcess'
'rookieexcess' anagrammed gives 'exerciseooks'.
'b' inserted into 'exerciseooks' is 'EXERCISE BOOKS'.
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for exercise books that I've seen is " Items used by pupils for notes, homework etc".)
