Description
When Madge Bettany decides to start a school in the Austrian Alps, little does she realize how such a small idea will so completely change her life. Now, in this classic series of books, first published in the 1920s, join the Chalet School's first pupil, Joey Bettany, as she forges strong bonds of friendship with girls from Europe and America. Independent, intelligent, resourceful, and bold—the girls of Chalet School make each new term and adventure.Tags

Mary-Lou meets the Maynard family and is delighted to to to the Chalet School. Verity-Ann has been brought up by elderly relatives, and does not in the least want to go to school.
Re-read ten years later in the 'Girls Gone By' edition with the full text - and enjoyed it even more! An entire chapter was removed from the Armada version. Mary-Lou is one of my favourite characters in the series, and this book is one of the more interesting, in my view.
Definitely best to read in the full hardback or Girls Gone By editions if possible, but even the abridged Armada is better than nothing.
