Lavender is a spoilt girl who has travelled around the world with her aunt. She goes to the Chalet School and has the inevitable clashes. A bit like 'Eustacia...' in plot, and, indeed, several of the later books.
This is 17th in the original series, set in Wales and with a good balance of scenes in the classroom, the dormitories, the staff room, and Jo Maynard's home. Some inconsistencies as one expects with EBD, and a coincidence that's a tad unlikely... but still, a good light read.
Not one of the best, and not great as an introduction to the series, but definitely worth reading as part of the whole.

- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)And then those who were within earshot came tearing to find out what the joke was, for Joy had begun to giggle at the end of Lavender's speech, and, laughing such a clear ringing peal on peal of laughter, such as she had never sounded, even in the merriest of the 'Lavender Laughs' series, Lavender Leigh was laughing in the Chalet School.
