Description

When Dani s mum gets the chance to study penguins in the Antarctic, she decides the best place for eleven-year-old Dani is a strict girls boarding school where – uh-oh! – students wear smart uniforms that includes SKIRTS! Having failed to change Mum s mind, Dani finds herself having to say goodbye to Granny Viv, her dog Downboy and best friend Arch. But when they arrive at St Grizelda s it seems that there s been some drastic changes; gone are the uniforms and the rules, and in are chaos, anarchy and, er, goats.

Surely Mum s not going to leave her at the mercy of a crazy head-butting goat, a bunch of eight-year-olds masquerading as mutant goblins and a head teacher wearing a crown of picnic cutlery? But as a homesick Dani waits for Mum to make alternative arrangements, the madness of St Grizzle s begins to warm Dani s heart…With a definite whiff of St Trinian s about it, St Grizzle s is a laugh-out-loud middle grade read by best-selling author Karen McCombie, perfect for fans of A Murder Most Unladylike and Scarlet and Ivy.
