Third
Year At Malory Towers
A Book
Review by Maria Wallace
The “Third Year At Malory Towers” is written by
the British author Enid Blyton, who has written all sorts of children’s books
from the “Famous Five” series to the “St Clare’s” series. This book is an
adventure book about some girls at an English boarding school.
This book is about some schoolgirls that play
pranks on their teachers and tease the disliked kids. There are a few new girls:
Bill who is crazy about horses, Zerelda the American girl who thinks only of
her appearance and Mavis who is sure she is going to be an opera singer. With
the new kids there are funny, spiteful and surprising moments. My favourite
part was when the girls did a trick to make their poor French teacher sneeze by
hiding a vapour capsule behind the blackboard.
One of the great things about the book was
there was always something that I was left wondering about, the girls were
always up to something. One of the not so great things about this book was that
there were a few girls who teased the disliked girls because they weren’t as
popular as the others.
Through this book I think the author has tried
to tell others that boarding school can be a lot of fun, by engaging the reader
in the comical happenings that aren’t in everyday life.
I would definitely recommend this book to
others because it is really funny and adventurous at the same time. It is a
book that would be great for most kids and teens.

When I was growing up I use to read the Mallory Towers books Maria - this reminded me of how much I loved them - in fact I loved all Enid Blyton books. I hope you don't play these tricks on us :). I like how you have highlighted the part you didn't like - the teasing, this can be a very hard thing to deal with.
