And we're back! A little later than planned, because it's been quite the summer, but here at last, with a look at a non Chalet book which tackles the structural inequalities of the class system. Well…
We finished the last series with a look at my least favorite Chalet book, and we're starting this series with a look at a non-Chalet EBD, which I also don't much like.
It's just that this particular book also has one of my favorite starts, and it belongs here at the start of the school year.
EBD was on top form with her opening paragraphs, even if what follows isn't up to much.
If you've only read the Chalet books, you'll recognize all of these elements of the story.
