Alice-Miranda at School - Book Number 1


Move over, Matilda, and step aside, Madeline, there’s a new charming miniature heroine about to make her mark.

Can one tiny girl change a very big school? Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones is waving goodbye to her weeping parents and starting her first day at boarding school. But something is wrong at Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy for Proper Young Ladies. The headmistress, Miss Grimm, hasn’t been seen for ten years. The prize-winning flowers are gone. And a mysterious stranger is camping in the greenhouse. Alice-Miranda must complete a series of impossible tests. Can she really beat the meanest, most spoilt girl at school in a solo sailing mission? Could she camp in the forest all on her own for five whole days and nights? Well, of course. This is Alice-Miranda, after all.

Alice Miranda is a super seven-year-old on a mission to turn her wacky boarding school around. The story channels Roald Dahl’s adventure-filled Matilda, but packs a bit more mystery.

Six pages into this book, I told Mum this was the best book I’d ever read… I can’t wait until the next book comes out.
