When Flora Fox’s parents send their daughter off to boarding school, they have no idea that the train will take her back to 1935! One minute, Flora’s having a strange dream. The next, she wakes up without her laptop and phone, wearing a hideous uniform with ridiculous bloomers! Being sent to boarding school is bad enough. Being trapped at St Winifred’s is a nightmare! The rules are ridiculous, the lessons difficult, and the lack of hair products impossible. Even worse, Flora’s 21st-century manners will not be tolerated at strict St Win’s. But before she finds her way back to the future, she must find out why she’s travelled to the past. And it seems to involve the tempestuous girl who’s fast becoming her best friend…

It’s okay, a bit boring and clearly for younger readers.

Good book but it has a very stereotypical storyline. Girl goes to boarding school and won’t conform to the rules. I also don’t think it should be in the age 11-99 group because it is a book for 9 year olds. Still a good book though.

I really enjoyed the book and thought it was very realistic. My favourite part was when the girl woke from a strange dream then found she had travelled through time.
