Book description
Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones has survived her first
term at Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale. And now Jacinta
Headlington-Bear, the school's second best tantrum thrower, is joining
Alice-Miranda's family for term break. Who would have thought it!
The two girls are looking forward to a relaxing holiday at Highton
Hall. But a cranky boy is causing mischief on the estate, a movie star
has come to visit, and a stranger is snooping about. Add a naughty
pony, a hint of romance and a dastardly scheme, and Jacinta and
Alice-Miranda might have a more exciting holiday than they were expecting.
Jacqueline Harvey has spent her working life teaching in girls'
boarding schools. She is pleased to say that she has never yet
encountered a headmistress like Miss Grimm, but she has come across
quite a few girls who remind her a little of Alice-Miranda. She was
awarded the Honour Book in the 2006 Australian CBC Awards. She is
currently working on Alice-Miranda's next adventure.
