One Too Many

Pages: 126
Age Group: 9+ 
Genre: Boarding school, Christianity, mystery
Series: Gateway Series

To be the unwanted fifth in a dormitory of four friends, and "One too many" in the House, wasn't a very encouraging start for Penelope's school life. Judy, the lively leader of the Junior School, seemed determined to be her enemy, and one misunderstanding after another, even Pen's Christianity, made things worse between them. Pen's brave rescue led to complications, and then a confession, But it was not until after Judy was suspected of theft, and Pen helped her in some detective work, that their new friendship was established and sealed at a midnight feast of waffles and lemonade.

My Review

I really liked this old book! It was funny because after I read it I realized that I had another book from the Gateway series.  I rate this book 9 out of 10!! I love girls boarding school books, so if you like that type of book you will enjoy this exciting adventure of Pen's life.

Hope you enjoy this one,

add it to your favorites,

Are a unique collection of novels about the extraordinary lives of those who have lived down the ages at NO 6, Chelsea Walk.

 Polly's parents are scandalized but Polly is intrigued, and the more she thinks about this cause, the more determined she becomes to join the suffragettes' protest march. But will she dare defy her parents and do what she thinks is right?

My Review

I loved this book!! It was really interesting because the books in this series are all set around the people in this particular house on Chelsea Walk throughout the years as the world changes. I would love to read some of the other books in this series as you would be able to compare the house to the books before it. 

I hope you enjoy reading about Polly and her venture to become a Women Suffragette.

I loved this book and I am sure you will too, 

see you soon,
