When Flora Fox’s parents send their daughter off to boarding
school, they have no idea that the train will take her back to
1935. On the journey Flora has a strange dream. She wakes
up without her laptop or her phone, wearing a hideous uniform with
ridiculous bloomers underneath. She is a new girl at St Winifred’s,
where the rules are mad, the food horrible, and the hairiness
of the teachers unbelievable. Her 21st century manners will
not be tolerated at strict St Win’s – how will she ever survive and
find her way back to her own time? But there is a special reason
why Flora has been summoned to the past. It involves the tempestuous
girl who becomes her best friend…
Reviews
this author describes the book in great detail; you feel like you're on the train with flora, you have a clear, vivid image in your mind when a new person or object comes in and you can imagine exactly what it would be like to have to speak french at breakfast, write latin verbs in 'prep', wear heavy, hideous clothes and sleep with three other girls in a freezing dormitory.

It’s a good book, but not as funny as other books I’ve read. I liked it because there was a good plot twist at the end which was unexpected.

It was a good fiction book with all different characters and none who were alike . I really liked how the main character went back in time and the ending was really good when something happens that you don't expect.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it had twists in. My favourite character was Flora because I felt sorry for her having to travel between the past and the future. I would recommend this book to people who like magic.

This book is really good and really imaginative, it creates so many possibilities with so much description and creativity. I like how Flora {the main character} realises how much she takes for granted when she goes back in time to 1935.Whisked away by some schoolgirls meddling with the magic of the founder of the school. Will Flora make friends with the school girls and doesn't that girl Pete look familiar! Who is she, and will she reappear in the present day?

I liked this book because it was full of suspense and mystery. It did get a bit boring at the end but I still loved it
