I did find aspects of this story slightly far fetched- it's another Digby book, like the others I've reviewed recently. Apart from that it is much the same as the rest in the series; Elizabeth gets into trouble, or her friends do, and she needs to work out how to get them out of it. New friends are made, and school life occurs on the daily. I actually bought the next three to read as well, so keep an eye out for those reviews as well!

A Chain of Unfortunate Events put Elizabeth in the Crossfire, Can she Prove her Innocence before Disaster strikes for Real?!

It was so good the plot twists were so cool and it deserves a chef's kiss. The mystery of the button in the garden was so good and she saved Daniel from dying and rookie oh my gods

It's more a 4.75 rating :) I really loved it, so cute !! I loved all the mystery in this book, it was really good for a children/middle school book :) Elizabeth is just awesome and i love Julian as well :D
Such a fun little book <3
The only thing that i didn't really enjoy was the conclusion for the mystery, but that's ok :)
Awesome series, i TOTALLY recommend :P

I didn't enjoy this much, the whole spiel about Daniel being 'odd' because he loves reading books is really unfair.

Best book for every person

So this is the seventh book in the Naughtiest Girl series, and this time it practically picks up from where the last book ended. Elizabeth and Joan are waiting for the children who didn't stay to camp to come back to the school for the start of a new term. On arrival he children learn that they are going to performing a summer play. Elizabeth desperately wants the starring role so she practises making sure she's well prepared. During all this we are getting to know a character that has been mentioned before but hasn't been developed Daniel, who Elizabeth and her friend Julien think is a little odd as he's very quiet and doesn't really mix with the other children. Anyway Elizabeth doesn't seem to be able to keep out of trouble as the blame when some strawberries get uprooted in the garden as an old school blazer button is found which belonged to her. She also gets the blame for cheeking the teacher and gets stripped of her part in the play and falls out with Julien in the process, and also for setting off the fire alarm in the middle of the night. She then saves the day when a real fire breaks out in Daniel's room and also finds out what has been causing all the strange things that have been happening. This wasn't one of my favourites but it was alright I'm slowly getting through the series.

I loved Elizabeth Allen's adventures as a kid and was delighted when I found the series continued by Anne Digby, published in new covers, at the bookstore yesterday.

The story is as always fascinating, but not quite adventurous and thorough as before. We learn more about Daniel, but the conclusion feels a bit short and too neatly tied in a bow. I mean, there are so many coincidences that are simply figured out to create a simple ending.

But it's like going back to childhood, which feels really nice. My favorite character has always been Julian, and I hope to read more about their adventures in the next book.

Uugghh aahhh..

Don't really like this book..

Ntahlah, 'sentuhan' si Anne Digby beda ama racikan cerita si Enid Blyton.

Sayang bangets, kenapa sih nih seri ngga berhenti di seri ke-3 aja?

Kenapa juga musti dilanjutin ama si Anne?!

Merusak ajeee.. huuhh!!

The Malory Towers and St. Clares' fill-ins by Pamela Cox are just SO much better than this one. There was just something a bit too young about this... it read younger than the original trilogy.

AMAZING BOOK

[Farseer · Rating 4 out of 5]

A return to form from Anne Digby after the disappointing "The Naughtiest Girl Helps a Friend". It seems to me that Digby is able to write a fine Naughtiest Girl story just as long as she follows the same pattern as the original ones by Enid Blyton, but when, like in the previous book, she tries something a bit different, she flounders.

Here, Elizabeth's form has to do a school play, a classical trope that we can find in several of Blyton's school stories. And here it works well. We have the usual misunderstandings, and the blame seems to fall on Elizabeth as it usually does.

I liked it that here people tended to believe her, which is an acknowledgement of her character arc in the series. It can be frustrating when, after earning people's trust repeatedly, the other characters go back to automatically not believing her when a new suspicion arrives.

A good entry in the series.

[Abhijit Gupta · Rating 3 out of 5]

A light read for people who've just started with books. The protagonist (also known as the naughtiest girl because of her previous misadventures) gets into a play but is accused of jeopardizing the school decorum by playing pranks (uprooting strawberries, pulling fire alarm cause she heard someone say 'fire').
Ultimately it is found that a boy had a rook which was causing all the fuss. The story ends on a 'everyone lives happily ever after' note.

3 stars because of a good read for people who've started reading.

This book, again by Anne Digby, has the usual plot. Elizabeth is excited to be back at Whyteleaf School but soon problems arise. She gets blamed. Only a few people believe her. She suffers an undeserved punishment. She and a friend try to solve the problem. They do and then all is righted at the school. Even knowing all this, the books are fun to read because they show how misunderstandings can be corrected. They show how after a disagreement or argument, people can admit a mistake, forgive and forget.

This is 100% my favourite book in this series written by Anne Digby . It took my a long time to read the first 50 pages since with Christmas I wasn’t reading that much but as soon as I got over 50 pages is in could not put it down if had an amazing storey all the mystery’s that happened at the start where answered at the end in a unique way . I recommend this to people that enjoy other Enid Blyton/ Anne Digby books or just purely adventure books

I liked the mischief maker, I liked the ending, and that Elizabeth's real friends stood by her in time of doubt. But somehow, even though it wasn't a boring read, it wasn't a great one either. Not one of my favourite in the series.

[Saffron Mavros · Rating 4 out of 5]

I could connect with the mischief and fun through and through. A must read for every school-girl. After all, only work and no play would make us such prudes!

A story that would resonate with every school girl across ages and generations.

I am enjoying continuing this series with Elizabeth Allen. She is such a bold character whose honest and caring nature always comes through in the end.

A simple but enjoyable book about how Julian helps Elizabeth, the Naughtiest Girl recover her position in the school play, besides helping Daniel socialize.

Just now, at the end of the story, I realised that this is a series of books.... I can't wait to purchase all of them for my kids to read and enjoy these adventures!!!

I love how it contained british culture; boarding school, baked pie, theatre play, and others. The storyline is quite simple, but could make me keep interested to read.
