From the Inside Flap:
Pearl and Jodie are sisters. Pearl is the younger one, small, shy and axious. Jodie is nearly three years older, bold and brash and bad - and Pearl adores her. When their parents get new jobs at Melchester College, a Victorian gothic mansion, the girls spend a bizarre summer holiday in the boarding school with just a few leftover children for company. Things start to change now they are in their new home. Jodie has always been the leader - but now it's Pearl who's making new friends: tall, eccentric Harley and Mrs Wilberforce, the wife of the Head, with her library of wonderful books. Jodie just seems to be getting into more and more trouble - arguing with Mum, scaring the children, flirting with the young gardener . . .
About the Author:
When term begins, their strange summer is over. But things keep on changin for the sisters. Jodie really doean't fit in with the posh teenagers in her class. Yet Pearl is blossoming. Maybe she doesn't need Jodie as much as she used to. But Jodie needs her. And when the school celebration of firework night comes around and a tragic event occurs, Pearl realizes quite how much she does need her big sister . . .
