Good for 7 Year olds! - Rated
I bought this for my 7 year old daughter and myself to read together at bedtime. I read this series of books fervantly as a young child and looked forward to sharing the experience with my daughter. Lucy's point of view was the same as mine at 7, in that she couldn't wait to read the next book and we are now just about to start the third. She loved the boarding school setting and begged to be read extra every night. I have to admit though being somewhat shocked at how boring I found these books and also how 'beastly' some of the girls were (to coin a phrase!). It's amazing how you change over the years.
However I am grading this as 5 star as Lucy loved it and it is after all aimed at her age group not boring old ***** like myself!

Bought this book for my ten year old daughter who has just finished reading the St. Clare's set. She is really enjoying it and looking forward to the next one already! Definitely a good buy.
fantastic, engrossing, wonderful! - Rated
My 6 year old daughter was given the Malory Towers series. I didn't remember them from my own childhood and wasn't greatly looking forward to reading them - I thought they would be ridiculously old fashioned and badly written. I was wrong. Of course some of the language is a bit dated (things are "wizard" rather than "cool") but my daughter adores the stories and the characters and it doesn't matter that she'd never come across the concept of a boarding school or a governess before. Blyton had a talent for writing engrossing page-turners and creating appealing characters. I have enjoyed reading them to my daughter and she's now enjoying reading them to herself. I would thoroughly recommend this series either as a bedtime story for girls from around reception to year 2 or for girls to read to themselves from around age 7.
Perfect for an 8 year old - Rated
My 8 yr old daugher has just read this and loves it, especially the tricks they play.
My favourite blast from the past - Rated
Ah, how much did I love these books when I was a kid? I so desperately wanted to be friends with Darrell Rivers et al and tip-toe down to the beach for midnight feasts with lashings and lashings of ginger beer!
I must have read the whole series at least 10 times, and I recently rediscovered them when I was off work sick for a few days - I curled up under my duvet with mugs of lemsip and lost myslef in the best boarding school in the world for a few days. I'm in my 30's now (well into them, but shhh!) and I could have been a 10 year old again, they made me feel carefree and happy.
The series follows Darrell Rivers and friends (Sally, Mary Lou etc) through their 5 years at boarding school on the Cornish coast and we meet and fall in love with an aray of fabuous characters along the way including spoilt, sulky Gwendoline, headstrong Alicia and tomboy Bobbie.
I just loved these books years ago and I still love them now. Whether you have never read any Mallory Towers or you grew up with them like me, then you are about to get a real treat by picking this book up. Enjoy!
