Of all the Kit Pearson books, this is probably the most fun. It is the story of a girl who begins attending a boarding school, and her life with her dorm mates. She and her friends begin a game, a daring game, and they begin breaking rules together. This book illustrates some really healthy friendships between young girls, as well as having beautiful descriptions of the school grounds. I have never been to a boarding school, so I can't say how realistic it really is, but it is certainly exciting.
