Joey and Co. in Tirol

This book features Joey Maynard and some of her family on holiday in their new chalet in the Austrian Tirol. They get to know the three Richardsons - Roger, Ruey and Roddy - who are staying in a small chalet nearby, mostly without any adult present.

Inevitably there’s much that’s old-fashioned and I rolled my eyes a little at some of the author’s oft-repeated phrases and values. But there’s a lot of warmth too: Jo and her husband Jack are relaxed parents who expect a lot of their children, but they treat them with respect too.

I enjoyed this book very much, when I read it for the first time in probably twenty years, and again nearly ten years later. Recommended to anyone who enjoys the series and who likes Joey; it makes a change show more from Brent-Dyer's school-based books.
