  • "When the headmistress of St. Etheldreda's School for Young Ladies falls down dead at Sunday dinner, her pupils are most put out. It really would inconvenience the seven young ladies in her care to return to their families now they have formed an alliance at Prickwillow Place. At home, Disgraceful Mary Jane would be kept under lock and key by her parents, Dear Roberta would be at the mercy of her stepmother's Victorian strictures and Smooth Kitty would once again be invisible, the unwanted daughter of a mill-owner. So the girls opt to hide their headmistress's death and take charge of their lifestyle and education. But this is easier said than done in late nineteenth-century England, where neighbours love to pry. And when the girls deduce that their headmistress was poisoned - by her Sunday veal! - they realize there is also a murderer on the loose ... Ages 9+"

  • "An outrageous plot of villainy starring seven brilliant young girls. At Prickwillow Place, Disgraceful Mary Jane, Smooth Kitty and their fellow students are keeping a deadly secret. When the headmistress of St Etheldreda's School for Young Ladies drops dead at Sunday dinner, her seven pupils agree on a clever scheme: to bury their teacher in the vegetable garden, dress up Stout Alice in her place, and educate themselves. This is tricky enough in a small Victorian community, but when the girls deduce that their teacher was poisoned - (it was the veal!) - they realise there is also a murderer."@en
