September start is some sport, because one's generally in a fresh form, and there are always changes; and even January is fairly lively; but now! Why, there's scarcely even a new girl to make a small excitement, and altogether it's about as stale as beginning again after half-term week-end."… (more)

I enjoyed the parts about Mildred the orphaned violin prodigy, but then there's a whole other plot about a contest between six different schools crammed in as well, which I found a bit boring and long winded. ( )

Book description
An orphan, Mildred Lancaster lives with her aunt and uncle, kind people who encourage her to develop the talent inherited from her musician father, and goes to St. Cyprian's College, the nicest school in town. This is an exciting term because Mildred has two opportunities to shine - in a school competition and on concert platform - and a big decision to make about the future.
