Here's the Naughtiest Girl! - Enid Blyton

There are three books in the Naughtiest Girl series by Enid Blyton: The Naughtiest Girl in the School (First Published 1940) The Naughtiest Girl Again (1942) The Naughtiest Girl is a Monitor (1945) While being in many ways typical school stories such as the St Clare's and Malory Towers books, also by Enid Blyton these books are also significantly different.

Review of Here's the Naughtiest Girl! - Enid Blyton

This series of books by Enid Blyton includes The Naughtiest Girl In The School, The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor and The Naughtiest Girl Again. The books are about a girl called Elizabeth Allen, who goes to a school called Whyteleafe. The Naughtiest Girl In The School is the first book, following Elizabeth as she first goes to the boarding school.

Review of Here's the Naughtiest Girl! - Enid Blyton

In Germany known as "Lissy im Internat" is The Naughtiest Girl not very popular. I've seen it once in a book shop and because it was from Enid Blyton I've bought it. It was a bit different from St. Clares or Malory Towers. At Elizabeth Allens school are students of both sexs. So that was a surprise because I haven't think Enid would ever write something like this. In all the other books schools were seperated. So that boys and girls boarding school ...
...turns out to be as fun as the girl/boy schools, even better. Well the story pretty the same. A girl from a rich family who's naughty should go to boarding school but don't want to. Elizabeth tries to be the naughtiest girl at school but that schools turns out to the nice and so she decides to be nice, too. That book is nothing special like adventure series but nice as well! ...
