Thoughts

The girls are back for another term at boarding school - I hadn’t really clocked that these books only cover one term each… so much happens, it seems impossible that these three books are pretty much covering one school year! It seems so long ago that the twins were the new girls being a pain about everything. At this point, the focus is less on the twins and more on everyone else - Carlotta the circus girl, Prudence the sneak, Bobby the tennis star. Lots of tennis in this one, good stuff! The girls get a chance to mess up but then learn and grow from it. What more do you need from a classic Enid Blyton story?
