About This Book

Two close friends leave home to attend a country girls' boarding school and adjust to new routines, classmates, and social events. Their arrival launches a season of spirited companionship and lighthearted mischief led by a lively friend, while classes, parties, sleighing outings, and a wishing-well frame episodic adventures. Conflicts arise from misunderstandings and petty spite, including a lost necklace and an innocent accused thief, which are resolved through honesty, investigation, and forgiveness. Interwoven scenes of everyday school life—dances, errands, practical jokes, and quiet moments—shape character growth and strengthen friendships before the girls eventually return home.
