Judy, Patrol Leader

by Dorothea Moore

'We're not accustomed to having relations of the staff planted upon us.' So runs the feeling among the girls of IV A. in St. Oswyth's School for Girls when Judy Bethune, niece of the Latin master, arrives in the middle of the Spring Term. But Judy, although a little bewildered, is not daunted by this cool reception; with her natural friendliness, enthusiasm and love of adventure she breaks down the barrier of resentment. Herself a keen Guide, Judy tries hard to interest her school-mates in Guiding, but it is not until she has proved herself a 'good sport' by showing resourcefulness and pluck that her dream of a Guide Company as St. Oswyth's comes true.
Judy's adventures make exciting and amusing reading and will be much enjoyed by all schoolgirls." (Dustwrapper blurb from undated edition)
