It's a new term at Fernside boarding school, and Robin can't wait for fun in the dorm, playing games and maybe even winning the coveted Form Shield. But for new girl Linnet, Robin's younger cousin, there are just too many new faces and strict rules.
Luckily, she has Robin for help and her very own hideaway. And when the adorable puppy Rudy disappears, it is Linnet who is determined to find him. Even if it means dragging Robin and all her new friends headfirst into danger.
There may be daring rescues, secret missions and adventures galore, but best of all are the true friendships to be made at Fernside.
Sheena Wilkinson has been a lifelong fan of girls' school stories ever since reading the Malory Towers and Chalet School books - she even has a PhD on the subject!
Sheena Wilkinson is one of Ireland’s most acclaimed writers for young people. Since the publication of the multi-award-winning Taking Flight in 2010, she has published several novels, including Grounded, which won the 2013 Children’s Books Ireland Book of the Year and Children's Choice awards.
Her first historical novel, Name upon Name, set during the 1916 Easter Rising, was chosen as Waterford City’s ‘One Community, One Book’ title in 2016. This was followed by Star by Star, set at the time of the momentous 1918 General Election, when women in Ireland voted for the first time. This won the 2018 Children’s Books Ireland Honour Award for Fiction and was selected as a BookTrust ‘Future Classic’.
Sheena Wilkinson lives in County Down, Northern Ireland, where she spends her time writing, singing, and walking in the forest thinking up more stories.
