Sjuk utseendefixering och triggande bok på många sätt. Lite mysig men väldigt förutsägbar.

Rather average story. One additional star because the novels are taking place in a posh English boarding school ( a bit like in Harry Potter only without magic). Another for my favorite Maya Angelou's poem included ( full!) in the story.

All fans of Malory Towers and St Clare’s books will love these books by Jane Beaton aka Jenny Colgan. This is my second time of reading them as I have recently purchased the new book in the series “Lessons” and thought it would be good to remind myself of what had gone on previously. I have to say I enjoyed them just as much, if not more, the second time round and cannot wait to start on the next book in the series. Here’s hoping for many more to follow!

Absolutely loved this, maybe because I both went to a similar (though not boarding) school & taught at a rough comprehensive!

A good quick read. Ended very abruptly though, maybe there's a book 3?
