Había leído este libro cuando era pequeña, volverlo a encontrar fue un viaje al pasado.
Es probable que le este dando mucha puntuación por la nostalgia, pero definitivamente, fue un placer releerlo nuevamente.

I read this 2 years ago and re read it. It is such a fantabulous book.

This was one of my favourite book series as a child so when I saw on a weekend away in a vintage store I treated myself and read over the relaxing trip.
I was glad whilst I remembered the premise I didn’t remember all the finer details but elements did come flooding back so was great nostalgia.
There was a section quite dark but as an adult I am aware that is typical of Enid Blyton writing.
I will definitely be seeking out the other books soon.

Read this to my children over the weekend; expected them to find it a little dull having read a lot of David Walliams recently but they loved it and have asked for the sequel... children never fail to amaze me!

I think reading this as an adult probably didn’t help my view of it. I just thought that the children in the school were cruel and bullying... not sure if this is how schools ran back in the day and I know she began to laugh at her nickname, but the whole ‘call her a baby until she conforms’ didn’t sit right with me. Also, joan’s mother... WTH?!?
