Description
Samantha van der Byl, an American girl, and Samaris Davies, a Welsh girl, arrive at the Chalet School at the beginning of the second term. Although there is a two-year difference in their ages they immediately become firm friends. Joey Maynard is intrigued by their unusual names, and Samaris’s interest in music diverts Nina Rutherford after her accident and helps Baby Phil over a bad patch. The two have many adventures, not the least being Samantha’s acrobatics with Minette, the school cat. There is a big surprise for the two Sams at the end of the story.
This new edition includes all of the text of the original and some new introductory and background material, including “Home is Where the Heart Is”, a short story by Katherine Bruce.
