The Dragonfly Pool

When war breaks out the high-spirited, independent-minded Tally is sent off to boarding school in deepest Devon very much against her will. Far from being the dull, dreary place she imagines, Delderton Hall is extraordinary and completely unconventional place with eccentric staff and interesting pupils. On a trip to the kingdom of Bergania, Tally meets up with a prince who sweeps her off on an exciting, highly dangerous adventure which tests her to the limit. Storytelling at its very, very best.
