This is book is about a girl named Elizabeth who doesn't want to go to school but was sent to school. Her parents can't look after her anymore because they had to go to another place. She is sent to a boarding school. It's a place where the kids have to sleep, have dinner and learn. She thought it was horrid at the start then she makes a friend and she becomes happy.
My favorite part of the book was when she became nice as she was naughty before, this makes another person happy, a girl called Joan. Joan was always sad. Everybody called her names, like a Mouse and they said 'Where do you keep your cheese?' She bought Joan some stamps and helped her send letters to her parents. Elizabeth talked to Joan and asked her to be her friend. Joan was not a naughty character, Elizabeth was naughty because her parents spoilt her. Joan always tried to help Elizabeth not be mad at others. They were both sad at first because they didn't have any friends, they were similar to each other and this helped them connect.
I like the book because it was funny because Elizabeth uses funny language when she's angry, such as 'poo'. We use words like 'drats', ' shot' and I think it's funny because of the words in the book. It might be a true story, like my Mum's Dad went to boarding school, that's a true story.
I think people should read this book because it's a true story and it's very interesting.
