Contents

  • Susan Blake is quite sure that she will be head girl for the coming year at Melling School. After all who else is there? But Melling's gentle headmistress chooses Susan's best friend Laura Lacey who then finds her friendship with Susan in danger, for Susan is disappointed and resentful.
  • At school Susan finds she is not even a success as a prefect, while timid Laura, whom she guided and protected through the years, grows confident and independent, gradually winning the respect of even the cheekiest junior. Poor Susan knows just how fond of Laura she really is, but pride and misunderstandings stand in the way of reconciliation until, with the discovery of a forgotten letter, Laura breaks down the barrier and the two are friends once more.
