This year there is the tension of exams for the first time, but there is all the fun of the summer term as well - and the high spirits of a lively and imaginative form of girls. There is Zerelda, the American girl, Bill, short for Wilhelmina, who is mad about horses, and Mavis who has a remarkable voice. The girls return for another term to find several new faces in their form. Mam'zelle Dupont is still trying to be strict, Alicia plays a trick with invisible chalk and Gwendoline and Daphne get into trouble. How is she gong to remember everyone's name, let alone find her way around? And will she ever have a special friend of her own?ĭarrell, Sally, Gwendoline, Mary Lou and all the girls are now in the Second Form, but they are as lively as ever. Scared and excited, Darrell Rivers has just arrived at Malory Towers. Darrell and Co are in North Tower, where most of the action takes place, and where the girls try not to run foul of strict housemistress Miss Potts, or the equally strict Matron. There are about forty girls in each form, divided among the four houses. Malory Towers has six forms, from the first to the sixth, and four house towers-North, South, East and West. But of course it's not all plain sailing for Darrell and her friends! The heroine is Darrell Rivers, who enters the school in the first form and becomes head girl when she is in the sixth.

Enid Blyton wrote six books for this series between 19. Malory Towers is a boarding school for girls in Cornwall.
