Return to Ribblestrop is about a school full of orphans, a handful of fee-paying children, and only one girl. You first meet Millie, the only girl, and she is in a car with two priests joining the school when she crashes into Sam, Ruskin and his brother Oli. They then meet a wild animal tamer, Flavio, who used to work for a circus. He needs somewhere to look after his animals, but he has no money, from then on, the whole school is preparing to create Ribblestrop Circus!
I was surprised at how funny this book was, because, even though I enjoyed the first few pages, when Flavio was introduced, I got a little bit bored, until you got into the school term. I still haven’t read the first book, but it all made sense.
My favourite character was Professor Worthington, because she was the calmest of all the adults and she had a lovely relationship with her pupils. I couldn’t stop laughing at some of the things that she said, even if they weren’t all that funny.
This book was a work of genius, and I will definitely read the first book. 9/10!
