Malory Towers #10-12
Malory Towers Collection 4 - Books 10-12
For new girl Darrell Rivers, there are friends to be made, pranks to be played and fun to be had at Malory Towers in Enid Blyton's best-loved boarding school series.
Fun and Games
Music concert or Tennis tournament? In book ten, feisty June and new girl Millicent can't agree what's more important. Soon all becomes irrelevant when things begin disappearing. Is there a thief in fifth form?
Secrets
What's with all the secrets? How did Daffy pull off her latest prank? What did Mam'zelle find in her handbag? And why is the new form-mate so strangely familiar?
Goodbye
The sixth form girls are to attend finishing school before they're sent out into the world. They are to learn deportment, etiquette and obedience. Oh dear!
Between 1946 and 1951, Enid Blyton wrote six novels set at Malory Towers. Books 7-12 are authorised sequels of the series written by Pamela Cox in 2009 and focus on the adventures of Felicity Rivers, Susan Blake, and June Johns. This collection features the original stories and is unillustrated.

Enid Mary Blyton (1897–1968) was an English author of children's books.
Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading. She was educated at St. Christopher's School, Beckenham, and - having decided not to pursue her music - at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher. She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters. This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in 1943, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters. She died in 1968, one year after her second husband.
Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's.
According to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare.

Well, apparently these are the last books. I really like the last one where they had Gwen back as well as the first generation (Darrell & friends). Good ending to a series that has a special place in my childhood and got me into a reader I am now.

Gwendoline Turns out for the Best!
How lovely to end the Melody Towers stories with the return, and success, of Gwendoline Lacey. The one terrible act of bullying I carried with me, from childhood, to adulthood was Gwen's spiteful pen stamping and the telltale smear of ink! What a satisfying bringing together of the first, and last, Mallory Towers stories.

A bitter sweet goodbye to Malory Towers.
At 80yrs old this month I have so enjoyed this book and the rest of the series. It is with great sadness that I say farewell to Darrell, Felicity and all their friends. Thank you Enid Blyton.

This the last collection. June and Millicent fight for players, and Gwen comes back to make amends. It's filled with drama and the end is a little sad because they all leave Malory towers but the book overall is very nice.

Good
It is written well. Almost like Enid Blyton herself. Enjoyed it very much. School series are always fun for light reading.

Okay, so I don’t really think the books by Pamela Cox are really good. First, it’s weird how she makes the problem of the story OUTSIDE the main place. ⚠️Spoilers Now ⚠️ Like, about the case of Clarissa and Bill, it was outside Malory Towers. And the girls had to go to solve it - like what?? If there was a crime or mystery or robbery outside near their school, they didn’t have to solve it. I know they’re best friends, but they should’ve left it to the police. However, the only best part Pamela Cox has written is when she made the old girls’ reunion. I enjoyed it. But that was it. Most of it makes me confused, and it’s a copycat.
Like, the characters. June is Alicia. Felicity is Darrell. Nora is Irene. Freddie is Betty. Julie and Lucy are Bill and Clarissa. Why can’t these authors make something more interesting to put into a story? It so dull and original, when they can’t make anything sound or look good. Some interesting parts, though. It’s enjoyable, but doesn’t make much sense… but I still like it a bit.

It is not easy to carry forward the writing of Enid Blyton. Pamela has done a good work. The last 3 terms give a nice closure to the story. Plots are little more deeper (ethically and emotional backgrounds) when compared to these written by Enid Blyton, yet the book scores.

I loved the whole Malory Towers series and wish it never had to end. Reading it makes me wish I could've attended boarding school myself and had all these interesting moments. It is a series that I would read to my future children if I have any.

Another enjoyable Kindle book, Cox does an excellent job of getting the feel of Blyton, and not too modern
