When she boards the school train, she notices that the two other new girls in her form and house are not easy to be friends with.

Darrell, Sally, Alicia and all of their friends are now in the Fifth form at Malory Towers.

On the journey back, Darrell's father picks up a new girl from America who is living in England for a year. Darrell finds Zerelda Brass very strange and different from the other girls she knows; she seems much too grown-up for school at fifteen and has her hair made up very elaborately. Two other new girls arrive at Malory Towers in the third form. There is ho...
