Climbing a Monkey Puzzle Tree

Informationen zum Autor Canadian-born Karen Wallace is the author of over 70 books for children! including Emerald and the bestselling Raspberries on the Yangtze. She was born in Canada! but now lives in Herefordshire with her husband and a large cat called Cougar. Klappentext Warm and witty! poignant and hysterical in equal parts! this is Karen Wallace's brilliant sequel to the highly acclaimed Raspberries on the Yangtze. Zusammenfassung The boxy, spiky monkey puzzle tree stands tall and imposing outside the dormitory window of Woodmaston House For Girls, a forbidding guardian to the school's young charges. Nancy Cameron is a new arrival, not just to Woodmaston but to England. She's rolled up from the backwoods of Canada, eager for a new life brimming with adventure. But boarding school isn't the Famous Five fantasy that Nancy had imagined. It is an austere, loveless world where budding relationships are soon put to the test. Nancy wins friends and finds solace by telling stories, but spinning stories for others can't hide the fact that Nancy feels horribly alone inside. And when she leads her dorm in a special fund-raising event that goes tragically wrong, things go from bad to worse. Nancy longs to meet the glamorous brother of her friend, Caroline, and as her troubles build it's an encounter that can't come soon enough - until a shocking revelation comes to light...
