Life With Mother Superior

by Jane Trahey

The action begins with the arrival of the author and several other new students at St. Mark's Academy, a strict Catholic school for girls. Determined to cause trouble, the girls begin by giving false names for themselves, which quickly brings them into their first confrontation with the seemingly formidable Mother Superior. Thereafter one zany misdeed follows another. But even as the action grows ever more lively, so does an awareness of the heart-warming humanity of the girls, the sisters and the Mother Superior. In the end there are lessons to be learned along with the fun, and they are seasoned with laughter and filled with the good spirits of young girls enjoying life to the fullest.

[Stef Rozitis · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book a long time ago when I was a teenager. I remember it being funny even though it was dated even at that point. I liked the humanity in it, even as the comedy was based on the cultural gap between children and the nuns who taught them.

If I ever get time to reread I will see if I still like it. Some of the pranks I am sure I will still chuckle at.

If you survived being taught by nuns at a catholic high school, you will truly appreciate this book
