Friday’s life is closer to normal when she is at boarding school. The last thing she wants to do is go home to look after her dad. When the Headmaster agrees to employ Professor Barnes as a short-term teacher, Friday hopes that life will continue as normal.
However, the arrival of the beautiful but snooty Princess Ingrid of Norway and the mysterious disappearance of items around school are turning the orderly Highcrest Academy into chaos. Can Friday Barnes and her friends unmask the thieving Pimpernel and keep the princess out of trouble?
Friday Barnes is a light, easy read with enough action and mystery to keep the pages turning right to the end. While a bit on the frivolous side, its even mix of humour, friendship and action confirms Friday Barnes as a perfect escape-from-reality read.
