Book description
Alice-Miranda is thrilled to be back at school, where the girls are
preparing a play with the neighbouring boys' school. But it's not all
glitter and stage lights: there are rumours of a witch in the woods, and
Jacinta and Millie are clashing with a rude new student, Sloane, and her
pushy mother, September, who's plotting to steal the fortune she's
always dreamed of. It's up to Alice-Miranda to set things right!
Jacqueline Harvey has spent her working life teaching in girls' boarding
schools. She's never met a witch in the woods but she has met quite a
few girls who remind her a little of Alice-Miranda. She was awarded the
Honour Book in the 2006 Australian CBC Awards for her first picture
book,
The Sound of the Sea
, and she has written several stories about Alice-Miranda, as well as a
new heroine, Clementine Rose. She is currently working on
Alice-Miranda's next adventure.
