trennels they are doing a reread of the Marlows books by Antonia Forest. The first post is tomorrow (Chs 1-5).
If you haven't read Autumn Term (the first book in the Marlows series), it's one of my very favorite books-set-at-boarding-school, the genre of which I'm already predisposed to like a lot (see also here), and which also has a really great family and friendships. It's out of print in the US (I think it's still in print in the UK), but was in print here briefly a while ago (which is when I bought my copy), so at least there are used copies around. All the other books are irritatingly difficult to find in the US (though maybe not quite as bad in the UK?)

sarahtales, if you see this, I AM BLAMING YOU for the fact that I am so excited about this reread, and also that I have spent years wanting to read the rest of the books. Just saying.)

But yes, do look around :) (Did I ever make you read Autumn Term? I think you would like it!)
