Even a life on the untamed plains of Africa can't prepare Wilhelmina
for the wilds of an English boarding school in this lovely and lyrical
novel from the author of Rooftoppers, which Booklist called "a
glorious adventure."
Wilhelmina Silver's world is golden. Living half-wild on an African farm
with her horse, her monkey, and her best friend, every day is beautiful.
But when her home is sold and Will is sent away to boarding school in
England, the world becomes impossibly difficult. Lions and hyenas are
nothing compared to packs of vicious schoolgirls. Where can a girl run
to in London? And will she have the courage to survive?
From the author of the "witty, inventively poetic" Rooftoppers comes
an utterly beautiful story that's sure to be treasured.
