About This Book

A new girl arrives at a traditional girls' boarding school and adjusts to dormitory routines, lessons, games, and the strictures of school life while forming friendships and facing personal fears. Episodes range from chapel services and gym lessons to a mischievous blackout, sporting contests, a dormitory strike, and misunderstandings provoked by a caricature; these incidents prompt tests of character and small acts of courage. Gradually she learns to meet social challenges, repair wrongs, and take responsibility, gaining confidence and helping to restore harmony among her classmates.
