Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones is waving goodbye to her weeping parents and starting her first day at boarding school.  But something is wrong at Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy for Proper Young Ladies.  The Headmistress, Miss Grimm, hasn't been seen for ten years.  The prize winning flowers are gone.  And a mysterious stranger is camping in the greenhouse.  Alice-Miranda must complete a series of impossible tests.  Can she really beat the meanest, most spoilt girl at school in a solo sailing mission?  Could she camp in the forest all on her own for five whole days and nights?  Well, of course.  This is Alice-Miranda, after all.

This book is a fantastic read! Once you pick it up you cannot put it down until you've finished. It is about a young girl who loves adventures and is starting at a new boarding school. She is determined to make the school a better place for everyone, even though she thinks it has everything and more. She thinks there is something missing. Determined to fix the something, she sets out on an adventure and meets lots of great friends on the way. She has a great personality and is a little cutie. I loved it and it is very interesting!! :)
