pickAfter a pre-Christmas trip to London, staying with her sister, and Christmas itself, Sophronia and friends return to the school for the New Year Tea only to find that it has been infiltrated by Picklemen.
A satisfactory wrap-up to the series with quite a few surprises on the way.
pickSiddheag receives distressing news about her pack and Sophronia and the other girls put their training into practice to help her and incidentally foil the latest plot of the Picklemen.
It's been 3 years or more since I read the previous installments so I was a bit hazy on the details of what had happened. Fortunately there is fan wiki to remind me who was who. Great fun.
"Funambulist,” said Sophronia Temminnick, quite suddenly.

My current read, and one I‘ve been meaning to get to for years, is this 1910 Australian classic about a country girl who is sent to a Melbourne boarding school.
Have any of my Australian friends on Litsy read it? 😀
*Ignore hubby‘s leg* Twins, Bel and Rose, are taken in by their rich grandmother after losing their mom. Grandmother ships them off to boarding school where they try to fit in. Bel starts running with a wild crowd and gets involved in a school prank that causes a lot of other things to happen. I enjoyed this one but lots of trigger warnings (you can find them in other reviews, I consider them spoilers).
pickI loved this short novel so much that I bought another of Wolff‘s. Masquerading as a coming-of-age story, it is really about truth and honor and identity. The prose is sublime and the characters so true I had to double check that it was a novel, not a mémoire. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
