Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. Though second-hand, the book is still in very good shape. Minimal signs of usage may include very minor creasing on the cover or on the spine.
Elizabeth is a spoiled rich girl who resents being sent to a boarding school, so she resolves to be so bad that she'll be sent home again. But Whyteleaf School is different, it is mostly run by the students, and slowly the girl is won over by the kindness of others and the sense of the student leaders. It's a story set in the 1950s or 60s, not current at all, but it is still fun for kids to read. The same jealousies, misunderstandings and bullies exist today, just with different trappings. Some of the kids seem impossibly altruistic or wise, but not to the point of making me nauseous. Enid Blyton liked to write about self-reliance, pluck, and learning to be tolerant of others, and sometimes got a little pushy with her message, but she's still better reading than some current writers, her message is a lot healthier for kids.

Great book for kids
Once you start, I doubt you will be able to put the book down. Amazing concept which teaches you so much more than regular stuff. The whole series is a treasure trove for fun while learning something morally and I will highly recommend it to anyone with kids from age 10-15+.
