Alice-Miranda is thrilled to be back at school, where the girls are preparing a play with the neighbouring boys' school. But it's not all glitter and stage lights: there are rumours of a witch in the woods, and Jacinta and Millie are clashing with a rude new student, Sloane, and her pushy mother, September, who's plotting to steal the fortune she's always dreamed of. It's up to Alice-Miranda to set things right!
Jacqueline Harvey spent a number of years teaching in girls' boarding schools, meeting many young students who inspired her characters, until becoming a full-time writer. She is the author of the Alice-Miranda and Clementine Rose series, and has won several awards for her work. She lives in Australia.
