This term the fourth-formers are busy planning for the school Christmas concert, but that doesn't stop them plotting tricks too! Susan is supposed to be in charge of the play but bossy Sylvia wants to take over, and new teacher Miss Tallant seems surprisingly knowledgable about all of their plans. So when a horse is stolen from the riding school run by old girls Bill and Clarissa, all the third-formers want to help. There are also the usual tricks to play and secrets to keep, but no one was expecting a mystery to solve. Summer at Malory Towers means picnics, swimming and horse-riding. The girls suspect an old enemy is to blame. But Felicity's in for a shock when someone starts playing spiteful tricks. This fantastic bumper collection contains Malory Towers books 7-9, with a brand-new cover illustrated by Pippa Curnick.įelicity Rivers is excited to be Head Girl of the third form and there are three new girls to help settle in this term. Simly the best book ever written! Hope there are more like this.There's more to life than lessons at Malory Towers, Enid Blyton's best-loved boarding school series. Betty returns to school and Sally is no longer jealous of Alicia! (Apparently in the 2nd book Alicia is jealous of Sally). Mavis turns into a good girl at the end of the book. I also liked that Zerelda and Mavis (who are very alike) became friends and learned the same lesson. She saved Thunder and Mavis which is the best thing to do. I suppose it was good that the third form didn't play the trick on Miss Peters after all the heroic things she did. But Mam'zelle said ingeniously that she would make them work, but instead she taught them a French dance!!! Ha ha ha ha!!! Potty wouldn't let Mam'zlle give the third-formers their half-holiday. Ha ha ha!!!! It was absolutely hilarious how Mam'zelle sneezed! I liked Miss Potts' sneeze, too! Mam'zelle told Miss Rougier about the trick, who got very angry with the girls and started quarrelling with Mam'zelle Dupont. I can imagine the sewing mistress just seeing all the girls gathering round the window and shouting ''Whoa there''.īut the funniest part was that of the sneezing trick. How funny it was when Bill arrived (and went home again) with Thunder and her 7 brothers on horseback. I like that there are horses in the book and that Bill and Miss Peters are as mad on horses as I am. Just finished this book! Simply amazing!!! Especially to those who are horse-mad.
