About this ebook
"Funny, page-turning and addictive... just like Malory Towers for grown-ups" - Sophie Kinsella
____________
Maggie loves teaching English at beautiful Downey House but she is less keen on planning her wedding to dependable Stan. Instead, she's working on ignoring her crush on David McDonald, who teaches English at the local boys' school.
Just as Simone and Fliss have become friends, Zelda arrives to upset everything. Zelda is loudly, glamorously American, and she's full of ways to improve life at boring school. Soon, quiet, mousy Simone is undergoing a makeover. And Fliss is about to jeopardise everything to impress a boy.
In a new year at school, the girls of Downey House will be breaking all the rules - and not all of them will escape unscathed.
___________
"A brilliant boarding school book, stuffed full of unforgettable characters, thrilling adventures and angst..." - Lisa Jewell

I normally love Jenny Colgan books but this 1 I just don't get it. 1st of all it seems like there's another book before this 1 as it keeps referring to something happening last year and 2nd why has it got loads of poems in it? If I wanted a to read poems I would of bought a book on poems. And 3rd the ending is rubbish, you don't actually know what happens to any of them.

I was hooked when I saw the blurb, like Malory Towers for grown-ups, and it really is. Maggie Adair is a schoolteacher from Glasgow who swapped her rough inner city Glasgow comprehensive school for a position as English teacher at an exclusive girls' boarding school called Downey House in Cornwall. I have to confess I binge-read all three books in a few days so my recollection of the events of individual books is a little hazy - this is the one with the American schoolgirl and Fliss' crush on her big sister's friend - but I know I loved them. So if you wished that Enid Blyton had written books for adults then this lovely series could be the one for you.
