![]() ![]() Quiet, cautious Pearl has always adored her bold, brash, bad big sister Jodie. And when the school celebrations of Firework Night come around and a tragic event occurs, Pearl realises quite how much she does need her big sister. ![]() ![]() Maybe she doesn't need Jodie as much as she used to. But Pearl is doing well in lessons and has even more friends. Jodie really doesn't fit in with the posh teenagers at the school. Jodie just seems to be getting into more and more trouble - arguing with Mum, scaring the little children, flirting with the gardener.When term begins, their strange summer is over. Jodie has always been the leader - but now it's Pearl who's making new friends, like the amazingly tall, badger-watching Harley and Mrs Wilberforce, the wife of the Head who's confined to a wheelchair but introduces Pearl to wonderful new books. And when they arrive, things start to change. When their parents get new jobs as the cook and caretaker at a fusty old boarding school, the girls have to move there and spend their summer holidays in the school with just a few children and staff for company. Jodie is bold and brash and bad - but Pearl adores her anyway. Pearl is the quiet, cautious, studious one. ![]()
