(Please ignore me counting this as an actual classic)

When I was younger, I used to adore the idea of boarding schools. I think I would have hated it if I actually went.
But what I’m trying to say, is that this is a book about a boarding school.
And that’s it.
But I love Clover so it’s worth it.

I spent at least half of this book laughing because of the word uses—that are completely different to how we use them now...(the sultry weather

I think the family and Katy’s friends are so toxic.

Susan Coolidge wrote about people like those we know and love. Still enjoy these books - they are now 140 years old.

I think I like this best of all the Katy books because the girls are so "modern" :-D I love Rose Red, I love their club, I wonder when and what they studied, because they present Saturday as the busiest of days, and it wasn't that much to do... but - it's OK :-)
