About This Book

A young girl arrives at a new boarding school and learns to overcome homesickness by forming friendships and taking part in house life. The story follows her adjustment to shared rooms, social events, dressing-up entertainments, seasonal holidays, and athletic contests; an anonymous letter prompts her to investigate, and later she earns recognition in tennis and other school activities. Episodes emphasize everyday routines and small crises that teach responsibility, loyalty, fair play, and cooperation, and the school’s communal celebrations and prize-giving reinforce the ties and personal growth achieved during the school year.
