The Making of a Schoolgirl by Beverly Lyon Clark, Evelyn Sharp

nightwater32's review against another edition

3.0

Quick read but engaging. A girl's view on school, learning how the world and society works, and coming to understand the world through a girl's eyes instead of the prevalent view of her brother's, which overshadows much of her perceptions.

This book is a banger!!! Okay, this was the last book we read for Victorian Lit and it is so freakin funny because it parodies all the other school stories. Becky is an icon for her monologue to Miss Strangways about saving the headmaster from a fire so she'll like her and for reverse plagiarizing in the Decagon! And the play scene with Enoch Arden? Incredible. This was easily the best book from the semester.
