Success at Silver Spires by Ann Bryant
Crammed with the glamour and gossip of boarding-school life, this fabulously aspirational series from a well-loved author continues...Sasha loves her life at Silver Spires, but hasn't quite found her special passion yet. While all the other girls are pursuing their dream hobbies, Sasha begins to wonder if she isn't getting left behind. But all that changes when she begins sculling at the local water sports club. Balance; agility; speed; concentration; Sasha has it all and she is thrilled to have finally discovered her true talent - and with it, a newfound confidence. But Holly, a student with previous sculling experience, soon makes it clear that she's keen to thwart any competition on the water. In fact, Holly is determined to come out on top...even if that means pushing both herself and Sasha to their ultimate limits. Can Sasha rise to the challenge and gain success at Silver Spires? Filled with secrets, hopes, dreams and, above all, the power of friendship, "School Friends" is addictive reading for girls everywhere.
Every young girl dreams of going to boarding school..But is it all it’s cracked up to be? Well Silver Spires certainly is. Bryant’s fun-filled School Friends books are a new and refreshing take on Enid Blyton’s boarding school stories ... Each book takes a trip with the girls from Emerald dorm through their ambitions, fears, disappointments and triumphs. Ideal reading for the eight plus age group ... collectable, exciting stories with a real-life edge but buzzing with gossip and glamour. * Lancashire Evening Post *
I beamed widely at the book when I started reading it. This is exactly what I have been looking for. It's a modern school series aimed primarily at girls. It deals with the ups and downs of growing up. Boarding school stories are a timeless concept. Anyway, the reason I love Silver Spires so much is because it is a clean read. There's barely any mention of boys or relationships with them, which is present in older school series' books. It's very suitable for the intended age group. I'm already passing this one onto a friend's daughter, to try and get her loving books. * Nayu's Reading Corner blog *
