Overview
Step through the gates of St Clare's, the lively boarding school where loyal twins, cheeky classmates, and unforgettable teachers bring every term to life. This complete 9-book paperback collection follows identical twins Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan from their very first nervous day through years of midnight feasts, friendly rivalries, sports triumphs, and hard-won lessons in honesty and friendship. Written by Enid Blyton, with three later installments continuing the story by Pamela Cox, this boxed set is a classic introduction to British school-story fiction for young readers.
About the Books
The St Clare's series begins with twins Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan arriving at their new boarding school expecting to be the best in their class, only to discover that St Clare's expects hard work, kindness, and teamwork above all else. Across the original six novels, Enid Blyton builds a warm, funny picture of school life: new girls finding their feet, friendships tested by gossip, lacrosse matches won and lost, and midnight feasts conducted in whispers under torchlight. Mischief-makers get their comeuppance, quiet students find their courage, and the twins grow from uncertain newcomers into confident young women ready for whatever St Clare's throws their way. Decades later, author Pamela Cox returned to St Clare's to write three further books that slot neatly into the reading order, continuing the school's story with new pupils, new mysteries, and the same spirit of fun and fairness that made the series beloved in the first place. Together, the nine books offer a complete, continuous read through every term at St Clare's, following familiar faces and welcoming new ones along the way. With short chapters, lively dialogue, and classic boarding-school antics, this collection is an easy, enjoyable read for children who love stories about friendship, fairness, and figuring out where you belong, and remains a favorite recommendation for fans of Malory Towers.
