Erica Jane bumps into Joey Maynard in an unlikely coincidence, but her story is a very moving one. She joins the Chalet School after a hair-raising incident, and proves to be the kind of person who attracts accidents. Not all are her fault at all.

Some of the book is run-of-the-mill but others lift it a little above the average. I always enjoy re-reading these books, and meeting again the characters who keep going throughout, but I rather liked (and felt sorry for) Erica Jane too.

54th in the original series, so not a good one as an introduction, but worth reading as part of the series. The Armada version, which I have, was not abridged. (
