The book is intriguing and fun with a touch of humor. We begin the story by being introduced to the girls with a quick look into why they were sent to St. Etheldreda's School for Girls. Then shortly after, we have the death of the headmistress and her brother, leaving the girls to solve a mystery w...
It’s sounds a bit odd to call a book that opens with a double murder hilarious, but this one is. Berry situates herself a little more firmly in history than she has previously done (although significant suspension of disbelief is required). I loved the humor, and the way the girls stuck up for each ...
I loved this book. It was delightful, from beginning to end. I was searching for how to classify it, and in the afterward, Ms. Berry mentioned the term, British Farce. And that's what this is. I am all for Girl Power, and this book is very much about girl power and the bond between girls/women. Not ...

There was a dance recital, a school play, a concert, and lots of homework; all of which kept getting in the way of our nightly read-aloud. We read other boo...
The Scandalous Ladies themselves from left to right: Dour Elinor, Disgraceful Mary Jane, Pocked Louisa, Smooth (Katherine) Kitty, Dull Martha, Stout Alice, and Dear Roberta I'm so glad Jessica (HDB) read and reviewed this because I would have likely passed it by...when I knew it even existed! But ...
Ah, how I do adore when a book seems like it won't be something I'll enjoy and then it snatches me up and proves me wrong! The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place did just that, and I couldn't be more pleased. Very much a Victorian farce, this is the story of seven young girls who suddenly fi...
