I started reading this aloud to my seven-year-old granddaughter who liked it very much. It's probably thirty years since I read the 'Naughtiest Girl' series, but it was one of my favourites as a child. I can see flaws in the writing now, of course, but still thought it a good story, with some amusing scenes, and some quite poignant ones.

The book is naturally dated (it was written around 1940) but Whyteleafe School, which the 'naughty' Elizabeth Allen attends, is an unusual school even by today's standards. Elizabeth learns a lot about herself - and while the eventual outcome is predictable, it's not obvious how it's going to come about.

Definitely recommended to children of about seven and upwards, either to read themselves or as a read-aloud to introduce them to this genre of school stories.

I have so many memories attached to this series. This is one of the first books I read when I initially started reading.

I read this piece as a kid in my school library and I still remember going around telling everyone how well written the protagonist was. At that age it really impressed me and I used to think the Protagonist and I were pretty similar too! ( )
