Children & Young Adult Reading, Novels

Fifteen-year-old Page Allison arrives at Gresham Boarding School carrying more than just a trunk full of hopes. Behind her lies a childhood spent longing for the companionship she's never quite found among other girls, and ahead waits a world she's never known. Then she meets Dum and Dee Tucker, and everything changes. The Tucker twins are chaos wrapped in pinafores: inseparable, mischievous, and possessed of an energy that transforms the dullest day into a potential adventure. Page discovers that rooming with the most lively girls in school means every morning brings the unexpected. Set in the early twentieth century, this is boarding school fiction at its warmest and wittiest, where friendships form in whispered corridors, pranks spiral gloriously out of control, and the simple miracle of finding your people becomes the truest kind of story. For readers who crave gentle, nostalgic tales of friendship's transformative power and the irreplaceable joy of belonging.
