The best-loved boarding girls’ boarding school ever comes to our screens for the first time in 2020! NOW ON CBBC AND BBC iPLAYER.
When Darrell joins Malory Towers, she’s thrilled to be at the beautiful boarding school on the Cornish coast. There are new friends to make, lacrosse games to play, midnight feasts to eat and many stories to share. Should Darrell believe lively Alicia’s tale of a school ghost? Are there some stories of her own that Darrell would rather keep to herself? As soon as she meets spiky, spoilt new girl Gwendoline, Darrell knows it’s going to be a struggle to hide her secret and keep hold of her famously hot temper.
This book is a novelisation (written by Narinder Dhami, author of the bestselling book of Bend it Like Beckham) of the gripping new CBBC/Family Channel series, produced by King Bert Productions, founded by David Walliams and Jo Sargent.
Enid Blyton’s books have sold over 500 million copies and have been translated into other languages more often than any other children’s author.
She wrote over 700 books and about 2,000 short stories, including favourites such as The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Magic Faraway Tree, Malory Towers and Noddy.
Born in London in 1897, Enid lived much of her life in Buckinghamshire and adored dogs, gardening and the countryside. She died in 1968 but remains one of the world’s best-loved storytellers.
