About This Book

A lively girls' school tale centers on a spirited tomboy whose energy reshapes life at a newly opened boarding school. She provokes rivalries and friendships, leads pranks and adventures, and undertakes daring rescues and clever disguises that shift group loyalties. Episodes alternate between everyday school routines, social visits, and dramatic incidents that test temper and courage. Teachers, local families, and a clergyman's household provide influence and setting for moral challenges, so that youthful impulsiveness gradually gives way to greater responsibility, sympathy, and reconciled relationships.
