Susan At School

by Jane Shaw

Jane Shaw’s books about Susan Lyle and her cousins the Carmichaels enjoy a widespread and ever-growing popularity. Susan at School tells of Susan’s madcap first term at St. Ronan’s.
Susan, Midge and Tessa, a new girl, are an ill-assorted trio - Susan takes to school like a duck to water, playing hockey with enthusiasm and joining every society in the school; Midge jogs along in her lazy, happy-go-lucky way and is generally found in front of the Common Room fire; while Tessa, whose ideas on school life are highly coloured from reading too many school stories, lives in constant fear of expulsion. But when these three get together, the result is a series of hilarious adventures. What is the secret of Miss Johnson who goes out carrying a jug of water and a travelling rug? And have Susan and Tessa really found the treasure of St. Ronan?
Whether you are already a reader of the Susan books, or whether you are meeting Susan and Midge for the first time, you will enjoy Jane Shaw’s sparkling and up-to-date humour.
