About This Book

A spirited young girl is sent from her family home to a boarding school when household circumstances force a seasonal closing. At school she forms close friendships, joins a pupil club, and becomes entangled in rivalries, secrets, and a prank that brings social disgrace. A Hallowe'en masquerade, mysterious incidents and a tense episode mistaken for ghostly visitation escalate tensions and reveal a hidden plot, prompting moral reckonings. Everyday school routines and seasonal festivities frame lessons about loyalty, responsibility, courage and forgiveness, and the narrative moves toward reconciliation and renewed ties between peers and family.
