Jo of the Chalet School

By Elinor M. Brent-Dyer

Book Overview

At a mountain school beside a Tyrolean lake, the new term promises crowded dormitories, unfamiliar languages, and more adventures than its young founder anticipated. A spirited pupil with a talent for words is delighted by the arrival of old friends, new boarders from across Europe, and a small, homesick child who needs a place to belong.

As the school expands, its girls throw themselves into a magazine, a hobbies club, music lessons, and preparations for a Nativity play. Winter brings Christmas excursions, skating on the frozen lake, and the daily tests of living closely with friends of very different temperaments. But mishaps, misunderstandings, and an unsettling problem among the pupils demand kindness and clear judgment. Against the grandeur of snowbound mountains, one lively girl begins to discover that her imagination may point toward an unexpected future.

Great series

This is the second book in the Chalet School series. The girls, of course, plunge headlong into various adventures. This book also introduces Dr. Jem - Madge's future husband and tells us how Joey got her St. Bernard. Great series. I keep re-reading these books. Wish my school was like this one.
