Reviews
Malory Towers is an amazing book! I have read all the books multiple times and never get bored. I recommend for around 9 years minimum but so good!

I listened to this on my toniebox. It’s a really good story and very inspiring about not losing your temper and not being like Gwendolyn.

Best school ever! My love affair with these books begins!

I thought was super amusing because I liked that she met Elissa on the train and became friends with her, not knowing that she played lots of tricks in the teachers like putting a spider under their chair.

It's really funny. It's different to the series, but really funny because they cause lots of mischief.

I love this book because it’s all about friendship at the start and what one of the characters was acting like she could have her hair down at school but she then went to her room and had really tangled hair when she got back from the room at the playground but the new girl was actually really nice and did her hair for her so she didn’t get told off from the teacher’s again.

I read this book in one day! I loved it! And cannot wait to read the others. Sally is my favourite character, she is kind and helps people if she can. I thought it was good to read about Daryll’s dad performing surgery. Also, when Sally realised that her mother loves her as much as her younger sister but her sister just needed more attention as she was little. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a nice read and wants to read about mischief

Darrell was my favourite character, open day was the best part of the book as I liked the way the book made a great picture in my head of Gwendolyn waiting for her parents to arrive. The funniest part was when Darrell slapped Gwendolyn over Mary-Lou nearly drowning.
Queen Wanda Remmington 20.07.2025
It’s good. They’ve got a swimming pool at the school. I enjoyed the part of the book when Mary-Lou saved Darrell.

Enid Blytons books always want me wish so much I was in her world; this one is no different. It's so sweet, and everything's ok in the end.

I loved Malory towers because it had adventure in it and I like books with curiosity in them so if you like books like this make sure you get Malory towers.(It's the best!)

I loved this book! The story is about Darrell Rivers moving to a boarding school for the first time. She makes lots of friends and learns to control her anger. Darrell can be mischievous and plays pranks on her teachers. Her best friends are Sally Hope and Mary Lou. My favourite bit of the story was when all of the parents came to Malory Towers to visit because it reminded me of the St Margaret’s prize giving and sports day. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

so good she is a good writer
Coach Lacey Pendragon 12.08.2024
I liked Sally and Mary-Lou the best because by the sound of it, Sally looks a bit like me! She is also very kind and Mary-Lou is very sweet. My leas favorite characters are Gwendoline and Alicia because Gwendoline is spoilt and mean and Alicia is often playing silly pranks.
