description: St Githa’s, the School on the Moor, is closing unexpectedly, the headmistress is getting married and moving to New Zealand, and all pupils who want to are being transferred to Thatches, a school run by a friend of hers. How the ‘Githites’ adjust to the ways of another school, become friends with its pupils and discover the delights of a woodland rather than a moorland area, and in particular how Toby adapts to being a boarder rather than a day girl, make a most enjoyable story. But there is more – a mystery is woven into the plot and adds to the excitement of Toby and her friends.
