"When the Head Mistress of the Chalet School announces that she will be away for the whole term, both staff and pupils are thrown away into confusion. The girls soon rally round, but the collapse of Miss Ferrars in the middle of a geography lesson, combined with the dramatic antics of the two new girls, causes everyone to wonder whether they can survive the term without Miss Annersley's calm leadership. it is certainly a challenging time for the Swiss-based school" --Back cover.

I loved 'Summer Term' which immediately precedes this, but thought this one was rather run-of-the-mill, with far too much detail about day-to-day Chalet School life. It's not a book I'd recommend as a starting point to the series; in fact I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone other than fans who are reading through all the books.
Nevertheless, it's a chapter in the lives of people I find myself caring about; Elinor M Brent-Dyer had a tremendous gift of characterisation. The Maynard/Bettany/Russell families and the Chalet School staff and older pupils have felt like friends for most of my life, and the books, even the less interesting ones, make great comfort reading.
Appropriate for anyone over the age of about nine or ten, although it's likely to appeal more to girls than to boys. ( )
