Hodder Children's Books Malory Towers: First Term: 1

This classic set of stories about a British boarding school is great fun for pre-teen girls. It will take them on endless adventures, and will help them explore some of their own fears and hopes. On occasion the language is a bit dated, but it remains a lively and endearing set of stories.

Loved the Mallory Towers collection. What kid doesn't like the thought of sneaky midnight feasts and getting up to all sorts of mischief. Great to re-read! Really pleased.

Great Read!

Excellent first book of the Mallory Towers series. A must read for young girls in school. It is about lessons of life and about how to become a better human being.As Enid Blyton (Principal Mrs Grayling) says: "One day you will leave this school and go out into the world as young women. You should take with you eager minds, kind hearts and a will to help. You should take with you a good understanding of many things and a willingness to accept responsibility, and show yourselves as women to be loved and trusted. All these things you will be able to learn at Malory Towers - if you will.I do not count as our successes those who have good scholarships and passed exams, though these are good things to do. I count as our successes those who learn to be good-hearted and kind, sensible and trustable, good, sound women the world can lean on. Our failures are those who do not learn these things in the years they are here...Some of you will find it easy to learn these things, others will find it hard...But, easy or hard, they must be learnt if you are to be happy after you leave here, and if you are to bring happiness to others. "

Habe das Buch von einem Freund vorgeschlagen bekommen, da ich mein Englisch verbesseren wollte (und auch noch will). Ja, was soll ich sagen. Ich verstand nahezu alle Wörter und hatte keine Probleme mit dem Inhalt. Nette Geschichte, die sich wunderbar lesen lässt. Die anderen Teile werde ich mir definitiv noch anschauen.Kann es daher nur empfehlen ;)
