Beswitched

What’s a 21st century girl doing at a 1930s boarding school? Flora Fox wishes she knew! One minute, she’s asleep on the train, having a strange dream. The next, she wakes up minus her laptop and phone, in a hideous uniform! Being trapped at St Winifred’s is a nightmare. The rules are awful. The lessons are tough. The strict teachers hate Flora’s bad manners. Oh – and there are no hair products AT ALL. Flora’s got to get back to the future. But there’s a reason she’s stuck in the past. A mystery which seems to be linked to her new best friend…
