Malory Towers series, by Enid Blyton

The Malory Towers series is about Darrell Rivers and her sister Felicity. They attend a boarding school called Malory Towers in Cornwall. The first six books are about Darrell and her friends and the last six are about Felicity and her friends.

Being a boarding school, tricks are sure to be played on weak Mademoiselle Dupont and midnight feasts held at the poolside. Overlooking the Cornish sea every tower has breathtaking views of the natural attraction. All the books in the series have problems for the girls to solve and in the end everyone is happy.

I would rate this book 4/5 as there is mischief in every book in the series.
