![]() ![]() ![]() Also we find, like Sally, Alicia’s pal Betty is in quarantine so Alicia decides to team up with Darrell for the time being. At school, we meet two other new students, Wilhemina or Bill whose whole life revolves around horses, especially her own horse Thunder, and Mavis who is supposed to have joined last term (but this is the first we meet her-I am not reading the books Blyton didn’t write for this challenge), and whose sole concern is her excellent voice which makes her rather conceited but also somewhat adored by Gwendolen Mary. She also appears a lot more grown up than she is because of this inviting disapproval from the teachers, though admiration from Gwendolen Mary. ![]() Zerelda is Blyton’s somewhat typical American student concerned with her appearance alone, and not so much with studies or the activities (sport and such) that the English girls love. Her friend Sally is in quarantine, and they must take along Zerelda Brass, a new American student, along as they drive down. The story opens as usual with Darrell preparing to return to Malory Towers, where her sister Felicity will be joining her next term. Although this one is titled ‘third year’, as always, it deals with one term at the school. Book #3 for my Malory Towers Challenge, or rather of me reading through the Malory Towers books chronologically. ![]()
