A fun, fresh cover look for the second title in Chris Riddell’s imaginative Ottoline series. Packed with gorgeous black-and-white illustrations throughout, Ottoline Goes to School is perfect for kids aged 7+!
Ottoline is off to the Alice B. Smith School for the Differently Gifted, but she is rather worried that she doesn’t have a special gift. Meanwhile, Mr Munroe is more worried about the ghost who is said to haunt the school halls at night.
As the school term continues, will Ottoline discover her hidden talent? And can she and Mr Munroe expose the spook?
Full of gorgeous, intricate black-and-white illustrations, the Ottoline series is perfect for young and reluctant readers.
Join Ottoline and Mr Monroe for more adventures in Ottoline and the Yellow Cat, Ottoline at Sea and Ottoline and the Purple Fox!

Ottoline go to school for the gifted children. It may be a little bit spooky and haunted.

It was nice because it had loads of interesting labelled pictures and diagrams. I would recommend it to someone who has read other ottoline books or people who like pictures.

Very spooky but mysterious. My favourite character was mumble the pony because it was cute and was good at carriage croquet. I would recommend this book to my phantom loving friends.

I really liked Ottoline, goes to school, especially when Cecily Forbes Lawrence tells her stories because they are really exciting. I really liked Orvillise and Willburta because it is amazing how they can balance on swings and put flowers in a pot. I recommend this book for other people becuase it is a perfect book.

It was a good book about you can always go to school

My favourite character is Cecily because she comes up with great stories and is a good friend of Ottoline. My thoughts are why is cecily so good at telling stories,why does cecily have a pony called mumbles and lastly why is mumbles trying to scare everybody in a cloak that makes him look like a ghost.

My favourite character is Mr Munroe

I loved the book because Ottoline tried really hard to find the creature and the author used 13:00 o'clock but the no such thing as 13:00 but I liked the faked stuff.

Very exiting makes you want to read more of the series . Id recommend it to anyone else who is interested in adventures in a new schook with anew friend Cecilyas her second-to-bestfreind of hers and has very spesial gifts like every one else does in her school does. Her spesial gift is spotting things that spook others.
Duchess Morgana Bojangles 31.08.2022
Ottoline’s parents travel a lot so one time Ottoline decided to go to school with her new friend Cecily who she met at the park. She takes her pet mr Munroe with her . This book ROCKS
