About This Book

At a girls' boarding school, newcomers adjust to routines, dormitory life, and team sports while friendships, rivalries, and household mishaps develop. One spirited pupil tests rules, takes part in a holiday adventure culminating in a cliff-side rescue, and gradually shows practical courage and responsibility. Interwoven episodes of competitions, domestic detail, family news, and school ceremonies chart personal growth and the strengthening of communal bonds.
