I don't really remember reading this before - I don't remember the character of Carola, particularly - but I do remember the Sale they have in this book, with the magnificent doll's house, and the competition at the Sale to win the doll's house. I wanted that doll's house, man.
Anyway, Carola "storms" the Chalet School by running away from her Evil Aunt and joining the girls on the train and pretending she was already enrolled (she'd bought herself a brown blouse and skirt to fit in). She's discovered pretty promptly, but because her aunt is Evil she is allowed to stay and plunges delightedly into school life, and is informally adopted by Jo (of course. Do you think Jo's numerous children get pissed off at the number of strays Jo insists on bring into their family life?).
