The last book in the series starts right after the end of the previous book, with the Trebizon friends on the boat returning from their exchange trip to Paris. They have a lot of studying to do as their GCSE exams are coming up this term. A lot of their Garth college friends have A Levels or GCSEs to sit as well, and Rebecca's friend Cliff has his GCSEs as well. Meanwhile, the girls discover that Mulberry Cove and Mulberry Island are up for sale which could seriously curtail the School's activities on the beach and will mean the closure of the sailing school which they use in summer unless the Action Committee can do something about it. And after the exams, their French exchange friends will be returning the visit in time for the Commemoration Ball and to go home with them for the holidays - during which they will all receive their exam results, after Rebecca's sixteenth birthday.
This book is as full of action as ever while retaining a fairly realistic focus on school life. It ends with most of the beloved characters getting the results they were hoping for and looking forward to a future of possibilities and with Rebecca looking forward to her last two years of school in the Sixth forms. It would have been nice if Digby had closed out the series by taking her to the end of her school career but it leaves Rebecca and her friends in a good place, and with a certain friendship moving on a step.
Although most of the series was a re-read for me, I hadn't read this book before. When I first read the series of the four styles of covers the books I read were the earlier two, more realistic ones (Richard Jones is the only name I can find) which I've always liked and I still think they hold up well although Lucy Truman's covers for the reissue are fun too.
