Status Updates From Three Great St Clare's stories

It's been kind of cool how each of these books is very similar to the others, but also a bit different, with new characters and drama. I can see a MG kid (with some cultural curiosity, if they weren't from England) gobbling them up.

We've got some live ones this term.

Finished the second book in this collection.

That felt like a cheesy way to resolve the book's central conflict.

I can see where Margery's story will go, but am not certain about Erica's.

The war that was going on while these books were published hasn't been mentioned at all. Well, not every contemporary book must address contemporary traumas.

On to the second book in this collection. There are new crooked nails to be straightened out and nailed down. The first major episode in this book is longer than any from the first one.

It's pretty obvious who the culprit is, but maybe I'll be surprised.

After reading a couple volumes of the manga "A White Rose in Bloom," I was in the mood for another girls' boarding school story, and this one came through my feed not long afterward. This is my first Enid Blyton. I'm not sure why.

I'm enjoying the disconnect between the twins' self-perception and the perceptions of those around them. They aren't bad kids, so I'm sure they'll fit in soon enough.
