I bought this online without realising it wasn’t a full book. Although the storyline is complete, it’s only five chapters (51 pages) long - by comparison the other books in this series are around 24 chapters/190 pages. The volume is padded out a fair bit with advertising for other Blyton books. Apparently the Naughtiest Girl stories were originally written as a weekly serial for a magazine, but I don’t know why this one wasn’t developed to a full novel length.
Most of these books have several plots going on at the same time, but due to the length this one only has the main storyline of friction between ‘Naughtiest Girl’ Elizabeth and new boy Patrick. Aside from that, it is very similar to other books in the series.
