You'll find those at school going on the mitch to a novel place?
I believe the answer is:
book-shop
'you'll find those at school going on the mitch to a novel' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'place?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'place?' could be 'shop' (I have seen 'place of work' mean 'shop' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'shop') and 'shop' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'book' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for book-shop that I've seen before include "Outlet for readers" , "Reading matter sold here" , "Seller of reading material" , "Source of reading material" .)
