A Hole in the World - Sophie Robbins



Her career at boarding school ended by a small fire in the library, Bianca has to settle down at the local school – made bearable only because best friend Scotty is there. The last thing she really needs right now is a Princess who needs rescuing... and anyway, what do you DO with a Princess once you’ve rescued her? 


It’s hard to make friends when everyone else has known each other for years, as anyone who has ever changed school or moved house will understand. Relationships change as time goes by, and love comes in many varieties, which are interwoven sensitively. It’s a neat story about how friendship and love are facets of the same thing, and how love can sneak up when least expected.

What I liked:

Bianca is quirky and feisty, rising to the challenges she has to face with courage and humour.

What I didn't like

Some of the characters are a little flat, and some of the story is just a little far-fetched; the teachers are just a little too gullible!
