Inhaltsangabe

Before Enid Blyton, there was Angela Brazil; and if Blyton were a meringue, then Brazil is the whole pavlova!

First published in 1912, THE NEW GIRL AT ST. CHAD'S is one of her most admired school stories, and a foundational work of schoolgirl literature.

Honor doesn’t mind the reputation of being the wild new girl at St. Chad’s. After all, she is Irish, passionate about horses, climbs trees like a deft monkey, and indeed questions almost everything. But that doesn’t mean that she is ready for insensitive pranks to be played on the other girls, or teachers losing their money; and for the blame to be pinned on her. Someone’s devious plan seems to be to sew Honor’s reputation to daring acts and leave her to take the fall. ‘The New Girl at St. Chad’s is a galloping trip through Irish wilds and British countrysides, through adventures that all happen in a single term at the indomitable St. Chad’s.
