Re-read this purely for the nostalgia. If only secondary school was as 'jolly good fun' as Malory Towers! Friendship is a main theme that runs through and it's full of warmth, cheeky mischief and adventure. It's worth noting that some words/sentences are dated but I guess that is expected for a book written in 1946. Am now tempted to re-read the whole series...
