4 out 5

It is 1939. When Lyla is evacuated from her home in London to her great-aunt’s enormous house in the West Country, she expects to be lonely. She has never been to school nor had any friends, and her parents have been at the centre of a scandal. But with the house being used to accommodate an entire school of evacuated schoolgirls, there’s no time to think about her old life. Soon there is a horse in a first-floor bedroom and a ferret in Lyla’s sock drawer, hordes of schoolgirls have overrun the house, and Lyla finds out that friends come in all shapes and sizes.

I have read this book

This story was about a girl who did not want to go to her aunt’s house because she was worried that her mom aka Mop was worried about her.

School for Skylarks didn’t have a dramatic storyline or an epic quest as the plot of the book but it was still gripping and an amazing page turner. My favourite character was Lyla, the focus of the story. I give this 5 stars for its fantastic plot and well written chapters.
