War had broken out when Justice Jones' father, Herbert, took Justice and her friend Stella back to Highbury House for the new term. Justice had solved some cases in her previous terms, and wondered if she'd have another mystery to solve. The difference at Highbury House with the war on, was no staff, with them having joined The Land Girls and other war efforts, plus the boy's school had been closed, so they were also at Highbury House, in a different section, and there was to be no contact. But that didn't stop them.
When Justice's father went missing, Justice was distraught. Her dormy friends - the Barnowls - supported her, while Henry, also interested in mysteries, helped Justice dig for clues to find her dad. Where had he gone? Had he been kidnapped by German spies? Justice couldn't imagine never seeing or hugging her dad again...
A Girl Called Justice - A Spy at the Window is the 4th in the Justice Jones series by Elly Griffiths and I loved it. It's equally as good as the first three in the series. Justice is a strong, determined girl, and her friends are very supportive of Justice. I'm looking forward to the next in the series, hopefully soon. Recommended.

Another fun instalment of life at Highbury House Boarding School for girls. World War II has just been announced and as the evacuations start a boys school moves in with them. As usual there is a mystery to be solved and some disreputable characters to be followed. It was great to be back with these characters, we enjoyed their interactions and humour. The end wavered towards a 3 star for us, this happens in lots of books but when
Also as we have found in the previous books the girls speak as they would today, there needs to be a bit more language of the era.

The Spy At The Window is the fourth novel in the Justice Jones series for junior readers, by British author, Elly Griffiths. Not long after the Prime Minister announces that the country is at war with Germany, Justice Jones is back at Highbury House, but things have changed. Now in fifth form, she’s still in Barnowls dormy with her friends and classmates, and many of the teachers are the same, but M. Pierre has gone to fight in the war.
As have the housemaids, so despite horrified objections from snobbish Rose, the students are rostered to clean and garden. There are gas masks, blackout blinds, air raid sirens and shelters. Their favourite is now their form teacher, Justice’s good friend Dorothy is Head Girl and, much to her dismay, Justice is the fifth formers sports captain.
But the biggest change is that they will share Highbury House with about fifty boys from a city school, St Wilfred’s, along with two teachers, the awful Major Hammond and the ineffective Mr Hoffman. Miss de Vere requires a joint sports event, so Justice makes friends with her St Wilfred’s counterpart, Henry Williams, as they organise mixed rounders.
Distracting them from the refrain “there’s a war on, you know!”, several strange things come to their notice: a face at an impossibly high window, a foreign language on a wireless, an overheard telephone call in German, and the feeling that someone is watching.
But it’s after her father’s visit at half-holiday that Justice has to face her biggest challenge ever, a mystery that has her worried and upset. Luckily, her good friends Dorothy, Stella, Letitia and her new friend Henry are there to help.
An abandoned car not driven by its owner, a strange conversation in a pub, words in a Shakespeare play underlined, and a note in her hymn book all provide clues that help our schoolgirl sleuth solve the case and identify spies working for the enemy.
This is another delightful novel for young readers that can be equally enjoyed by those of a more advanced vintage. Another Justice Jones is eagerly anticipated. Recommended!

These Justice Jones books are ideal for their target audience. She is back at school investigating a mystery as per usual, the difference being, the second world war is starting and there are BOYS! She wins the day of course!

This is definitely a new top favorite series! Such superb historical fiction detective style mystery MG, that just get better & better each book. Incredible writing, & just the most amazing characters as well. This is the 4th book, & of course a whole new mystery adventure, plus other new aspects as usual. I can’t say much, but I liked the tie-in to WWII, since our timeframe has gotten up to those world events at the time. Because of the war, there are some “changes” to the school(all I’ll say), & I loved what that brought to the story. I also enjoyed the mystery/adventure of this 1 so much. It was a little “close to home” for 1 of the characters we’ve grown to love so much, so that added to the high stakes, race against time, highly emotional connection aspect of the story. Loved it so much. FLEW through this. That added emotional stake made it even more of a fast-paced read, & even more unable to put down. I love these characters with my whole heart-especially Justice, Dorothy, Stella, & Justice’s dad. Ohhh! My heart also was so full & happy for something that happened with Dorothy as well! Loved that, & I was smiling ear to ear. I LOVED how this 1 came together- & towards the ending, & the ending in general, have some of my all time favorite parts. Each book is the next term of school, & Justice isn’t done yet, so I’m assuming(& hoping!)there will be more books to come! Please be more! Lol Highly recommend these. I also love how these are inspired by the authors mom, & her own time at boarding school. She says in the back of this 1, her mom also had similar circumstances like in the book during the war. Another BEAUTIFUL cover by Nan Lawson too.💜

I know I have started the reviews for the first three Justice Jones mysteries by Elly Griffiths with a gushing statement of affection, and I’m about to go full-on gush for number four, The Spy at the Window. This children’s series is every bit as thrilling for adults as it is for the younger audience, with its engaging characters and immersing plots. We started out with Justice at age twelve, entering Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk late in the first semester. Her mother, who was an author of mysteries, had died, and her barrister father thought Highbury was the solution for Justice’s care and education, as his work kept him so busy. Herbert Jones also knows the head mistress of the school, Miss Delores de Vere, a friendship Justice is still trying to figure out, so there’s a ready connection for Herbert to keep apprised of how Justice is doing.
Over her last few years at the school, Justice had made some great friends of her own and solved some tricky mysteries, where even murder was involved. Highbury is located on the edges of the Romney March area of southeast England, a remote, isolated setting that’s conducive to the unusual and spooky. The architecture of the school itself seems made for mystery, with its turrets and tunnels and cellars and priests’ holes. It’s the perfect setting for Justice and the rest of her mystery-loving group of friends. And, I’m especially taken with the time setting of the late 30s and early 40s, as solving a case is all down to leg work, careful observation, and note taking. No cell phones or Internet exists, it’s putting clues and evidence together at its basic best. Justice is a list maker, and as she explores the mysteries that pop up, she keeps a journal of clues and suspects and observations. A passed note or found letter is far more thrilling than a text message, any day or creepy night of the week.
The fourth book of the series, The Spy at the Window, opens in December 1939 with the announcement of England going to war with Germany. Justice is fifteen and returning to school after Christmas holiday during her 5th Form. Things start to change very quickly in England. Young men are leaving their families to fight in the war and everyone at home is adapting to living with less and organizing into community units for safety and survival. Justice has the comfort of her best friends at school (and fellow sleuths) Stella and Dorothy and Letitia. Of course, the rest of the Barnowls Dormy are there for each other, too, even persnickety Rose. Blackout curtains have come to Highbury House, like they have to every house in England, and due to the servants not being there to work, the students must do dusting and sweeping and washing up of the dishes.
But, the big change is totally unexpected. The boys of St. Wilfred’s School come to share Highbury House with the girls. The intention at first is to keep the two groups entirely separate, but then sports brings them together. Justice makes a new friend in Henry and, of course, Rose finds a boyfriend. The two male teachers who accompany the boys’ school are quite different from one another. One is from a military background and a take-charge personality, and the other is a much less assertive person whom the boys seem to take advantage of. The two groups of students live beside each other in harmony, and it seems no mystery will be forthcoming from that change. However, when Justice hears voices from an unoccupied turret room and sees a man’s face at a window two stories up, curiosity and investigation follow. When Justice’s father disappears after the half-holiday at Highbury, anybody and everybody is suspect. Justice and her crew must take everyone now residing at the school into consideration for a possible link to the disappearance. Justice can’t bear the thought of her father being gone, in addition to her mother, but will a young girl and her friends be able to root out a spy and find Mr. Jones?
This story was brilliantly suspenseful, the kind you feel deep in your bones. I’ve enjoyed watching Justice grow and mature in her time at Highbury, and it seems her father made a wise choice indeed in sending her there. From the beginning I’ve loved that Justice is a young person who is comfortable in her own skin and has confidence in her abilities. This clever, intuitive, kind character has endeared herself to so many readers, including the adults, like me, who realize that great storytelling knows no age limits. Of course, the author being Elly Griffiths guarantees the best of stories and characters. Her Ruth Galloway series, her Brighton series, and her standalones/Harbinder Kaur all have favorite characters for me. I’m so glad that she has added the Justice Jones series to her repertoire. I can’t wait to see what mystery next befalls the Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk.
A final note I will include because I am such a big fan of great book covers. The books in the Justice Jones series have some of the best covers you'll find. They are both a visual and textural delight. The colors with the predominant purple and shades of green and blue with touches of black perfectly create an atmospheric sense of mystery. The slick and raised parts, as in the pictures of the other books in the series on the back, are an added treat for those who appreciate the textures of book covers. This is why I have to buy the print copy of the books, and I can truly say that I enjoy these books cover to cover.

I’ve loved these lines the books but I so wish the author hadn’t jumped years, there could have been a few more. Sadly there seem to be only four in the series.

I love the Justice Jones series and I thought the setting was really interesting, but boy if this wasn't written in a hurry. There are plot holes in this book that are bigger than my fist.

Adventure and mysteries are abound in this delightful fourth instalment if A GIRL CALLED JUSTICE. THE SPY AT THE WINDOW is a fun thriller that keeps you guessing.
WWII has come to Britain, and things are changing at Highbury House. Justice Jones begins another case when she catches a mysterious person at the window of her school...
So much fun! Young sleuth Justice Jones is on another case, this time in the backdrop of the dawn of World War II, when the girls must help with the housework and the local boys' school, St Wilfred's, are forced to share the premises. Despite rules in place to stop fraternising between the two schools, Justice makes friends with fellow sports captain Henry Anderson, and the two embark on a chase to find the mysterious person at the window, who they think might just be a German spy. The introduction of the boys' school characters helped to diversify the cast a little bit; keeping track of all of Justice's friends is hard enough when they're all the same gender, and Henry's awkwardness bounced off Justice's determination well.
There's lots of clues to sink your teeth into, stuffed between enough fun school shenanigans to keep you engaged. There's even an exploration of anti-Semitism and attitudes towards innocent Germans at the time from a German-Jewish character, who talks about it with Justice's best friend, Stella, who is also Jewish.
A delightful story, and probably the best of the Justice Jones series yet.
WILL I READ ON? Sure!

September 1939: The world is at war, and Justice Jones is returning to Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk in the fifth form, along with her friends Leticia, Stella and sixth-former and Head Girl Dorothy. New this year is an influx of students from a *boys’* school, who need a new place to study because their school is closed. It is not long before Justice starts finding mysteries to solve, including who is talking in an empty room, how a figure manages to appear outside a third-floor window, and whether there is a spy in their midst…. The fourth Justice Jones book leaps forward by a couple of years; Justice is no longer 12/13 but is 15, as are her classmates (except Dorothy, who is 18). And, of course, WWII is underway, meaning more restrictions and difficulties for Justice to resolve. I didn’t like this one as much as the earlier books, in part because plucky 12-year-old Justice is more fun than anxious 15-year-old Justice and in part because in general I don’t like books set during World War II (Connie Willis’ two books “Blackout” and “All Clear” being exceptions); nevertheless, Ms. Griffiths’ storytelling is as vibrant as ever and her characters are always believable, so a milder-than-usual recommendation from me!

I have enjoyed the previous books in this series (though I’ve accidentally missed one!), so I naturally grabbed the chance to read A Girl Called Justice: The Spy at the Window.
Justice and her friends are all getting a little older and starting to grow up. This book also feels a little more serious, as it takes place at the start of the Second World War.
This time, the mystery revolves around Justice’s father, who goes missing after visiting her. There are a number of other strange happenings, and Justice and her friends are soon embroiled in another plot!
I really enjoyed spending more time with this great group of characters - as well as a few new ones. The plot was fun and the ending satisfying.
Overall, this was another quick and enjoyable adventure with Justice and her friends. I’m looking forward to reading the next one!
I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series so far and Elly Griffiths has not disappointed with the fourth instalment.
I feel that I have watched Justice and the Barnowls grow up through each story and seen them bond.
In this latest story set against the back drop of war sees them in a new and more mature light. Stepping up at a time of need to help their friend solve the most painful and personal of mysteries.
As ever the teachers are not all that they seem and we have the added excitement of St Wilfred’s School for Boys being evacuated out to Highbury House.
Another wonderful story from Elly Griffiths that is easy to read, filled with love and yet also tense and gripping at the same time.
If anyone can solve the mystery then Justice can.

Justice is back again for book four, and it felt like having a friend back!
🎶
Set during WW2, Justice puts her detective hat back on, and, with the help of her trusted friends, old and new (including boys!) Justice jumps headfirst into a mystery that's a little bit close to home...
🎶
I love the Girl Called Justice series so far, they're so easy to get lost in, they're highly enjoyable, and as always, I never quite work out the full plot of the mystery, but that's what makes it fun, you've got to read between the lines.
🎶
If you've already read any of this series, please carry on with the set, they're really good.
If you're new to the world of Justice, if you're into UK boarding school mysteries, friendships and bad school dinners, you're in for a treat!

Several years have passed. It is now 1939 and Justice is in the Fifth Form, working towards her School Certificate. But just before term begins, war is declared. Which, or course, causes many changes. The French master has returned home to France. And, shockingly, a boy's school will now be sharing Highbury House with the girls, though the two groups are not, at first, supposed to mingle. War, of course, means spies, and Justice and her friends come to believe there is one in the area, especially after her father disappears. So once again she follows the few clues she has to find the answer.

Book number 4 in this Justice Jones series doesn’t fail to impress. The Second World War has broken out and at Highbury House changes are implemented which see Justice and her friends having to do chores as well as study and then the boys arrive! Admist all this Justice sets out again to find a missing person and embarks once more on an adventure with her school mates. This is a glorious tale.It will transport you back into the world of girls’ boarding school stories of former times with a delightful protagonist and a cast of engaging characters.I loved it.

Was a short read yet enjoyable, the plot was consistent throughout the whole book and I really liked it.
I loved this point of view with World War Two happening in the background and knowing the authors mother was actually in a similar situation to justice during World War Two.
Overall a 4/5 stars as I do believe some of the contents could’ve been written a bit better but other than that it was amazing.

This entry was just OK. It’s clear that Griffiths was most interested in writing about the experiences of going to boarding school during early WWII and the interactions between the schoolgirls and the schoolboys from the London-evacuated school sharing the building. The mystery was an afterthought and didn’t really come together. It could have used a lot more detail and the Nazi characters needed more background.

Justina Jones, un espía en el internado, es la cuarta entrega de esta saga de libros, y solo puedo comentar que lo único que hace es ¡mejorar y mejorar! Es una serie increíble con mucho potencial a explotar.
1- [31/10/24] [⭐⭐⭐]
2- [23/11/24] [⭐⭐⭐]

Con la segunda guerra mundial estallada, Justina Jones recibe en Highbury House a otro grupo de chicos de otro internado. Los alumnos no se preocupan por la guerra, hasta que se dan cuenta que el mayor de los chicos no es el típico viejo estricto que los penaliza por respirar, sino un espía secreto que tiene a alguien muy importante para Justina retenido... ¡A su padre!
•Puntos buenos:
🎣 Es corto, pero con un misterio que me dejó la boca abierta de la sorpresa. Lo recomiendo para gente un poco más joven que yo.
🎣 Se supera con cada entrega que hay, y me sorprendió de que Henry tuvo más protagonismo de que el me esperé.
•Puntos malos:
💥 Los alumnos no se toman la guerra en serio, como mencionó Justina: “Es otra cosa más por la que quejarse en Highbury House”
💥 El ambiente pudo haber sido mucho mejor, lo mismo con el misterio, le pudieron dar muchas más vueltas a la trama considerando que están en una de las mayores guerras de la humanidad.

💥 El ambiente pudo haber sido mucho mejor, lo mismo con el misterio, le pudieron dar muchas más vueltas a la trama considerando que están en una de las mayores guerras de la humanidad.

The best novel in the justice series yet, I wish these books had existed as a young reader. Justice is smart and gutsy and her friends care deeply about her, the novels reflect boarding school life and the current events of the day. In this novel there are even boys :) at school. A cracking plot as always and I hope there will be more to come

I loved the forth installment of the Justice Jones books, looking forward to read them to my child once he’s older. Engaging, funny with a great sense of time and place, the books are a delight to read, even for someone who’s not the target audience.

Well I really really enjoyed this one. A complete change to the others. I enjoyed the inclusion of the boys school and all of the changes the war brought. It was even better that the villain wasn’t the matron. Really didn’t expect that twist at the end.

What a great plot! The story is set at the beginning of world war 2. Spys. Danger. Rationing.
