Spine and corners bumped. Covers creased. Bottom of spine faded and 'yellowing'
Following a terrible accident in which the Chalet School's Headmistress, Senior Mistress, Senior Languages Misrress and Head of the Junior School were all injured, the Senior Mistress, Miss Wilson ('Bill'), rushed back to school before she was really fit to rescue the giurls from a tyrannical temporary Head.
It is now the following term. 'Bill' has been officially promoted as Miss Annersley's Co-Head, and is determined to show herself worthy of the honour. Naughty Middles, a disruptive Junior, and a spiteful Senior, all combined to test her leadership skills. 'Bill' demonstrates that she shares to the full her colleague's well-known ability to temper justice with mercy, and whenever possible she also encourages the older girls to sort out difficulties and organise their own activities. But her responsibiliyties are not confied to the girls under her care, and she she is confronted with a mistress's personal tagedy, 'Bill' faces her greatest challenge.
