Polly and Lala are two rather spoilt sisters who are new to the Chalet School. They befriend Peggy who manages to get lost, and makes a new friend. Then she finds that she has been given an unexpected responsibility in the school, which stirs up jealousy from someone who should be mature enough to know better. It takes awhile for the problem to be resolved.

Not a bad book, with a few surprises along the way but not particularly exciting either. I'd forgotten some of the detail but remembered the broad outline, despite not having read it for over eleven years and again after another twelve years. Certainly worth reading as part of the series, however.
