The New Girl at St. Chad's is a charming coming-of-age story, written by the talented author Angela Brazil. Set in a traditional English boarding school, this novel captures the spirit of adolescent adventure, friendship, and self-discovery.

The story follows the experiences of Sylvia, a brave and resilient young girl, as she navigates the unfamiliar territory of St. Chad's School. From the moment she steps foot in the school grounds, Sylvia encounters a colorful cast of characters who each contribute to her growth and development.
