When I was younger, my parents thought the biggest threat of punishment they could make was "I'll send you off to boarding school!" Thanks to the Malory Towers (and St. Clare's) series, this threat had absolutely no weight. I thought boarding school sounded "smashing" what with all the midnight feasts, lacrosse matches and dancing in the common room to the wireless.

The Malory towers series by Enid Blyton follows a group of girls as they go through boarding school. The main character darrel who is determined to be brilliant at school is sidetracked my mischievous girls who get her into all sorts of trouble. The books, written I the 1940s/50s may seem dated but I think are classic and can still be enjoyed by girls today. They paint a good picture of what life would have been like and could be used alongside history lessons to gain some social context, or to...more

Most kids dread boarding school right? And I'm guessing even here in Sri Lanka not many of us would want to leave the comfort of our own friends and family , Malory Towers showed me another world when it came to Boarding school, Darrel the main protagonist learns not just in the classroom but in the field, the pool and on stage..high school was a whole other experience for them..it was never just all work, there were dances, matches, stage dramas etc..Gwendoline would be my favourite "bimbo" cha...more
Sorry to admit to it now but there was a part of me, as a child that wanted to go to boarding school. The Malory Towers books likely played a significant part in that. The school of Malory Towers with it's swimming pool, located on the Cornish seaside was strictly girls only. Even still, I remember the characters and the things that the girls in the book would get up to, especially Alicia Johns. The central character of the books is Darrell Rivers and you are taken along with her on her journey...more
amazing fun...i loved this series when i was quite young and still read it sometimes
Dreamed about studying in a school like Malory Towers...hmm...
Omg! Memories of the past :O ... This is the first series I have ever read in my life. I started reading this when I was nine or ten I think. Along with Famous Five LOL. I was obsessed with these books and I used to carry then EVERYWHERE I went. I just feel in love with the setting Blyton painted throughout, it was just beautiful. Made me feel like I actually wanted to go to a boarding school. A complete contrast to the books I'm actually reading now aha

The Malory Towers series was my FAVOURITE book when I was young. I remember wishing I was there and that my parents would ship me off to Boarding School 'cos it seemed like so much fun. The bonds between teh girls and the adventures. There was never a dull moment and to top it off, it was beautifully written. This book brings me nothing but warm memories and I will love it FOREVER. =)
Excellent series by an author who wrote over 700 books for kids of different ages. She wrote a couple of all-girls boarding school series, and this one is my favorite. If you're looking for books to give to younger kids, she wrote some great ones to choose from -- fantasy books, realistic fiction, and books that teach you about nature.
A good book for children. Or to know how a boarding school feels. I liked the book but there were some places where the characters felt stupid[i guess that has more to do with me grown out of that age/phase]. all in all a good read but children/teens will enjoy it more
So in my 9th grade I was stuck at my grandma's in Bhubaneswar for two months and all they had to read were novels for girls (my cousin was 9 then). I had no choice! Judge me all you want but I can recollect liking the series back then :P
Absolutely love the Malory Towers books, always have done and probably the first proper books I ever read. Have a set ready for when my toddler is able to read as I know she will love them as much as I did.
This book is about a girl at boarding school. She and her friends prank their teachers, play games, have parties in the middle of the night, and more. There are five (i think) sequels.
I've read this so many times over the past fourteen or so years that it's falling to bits. I'm obsessively careful with my books, so this one is by far the most abused of them all.
I read this series SO long ago that I can't give a proper review without tracking them down and reading again, but my 10 year old self says they deserve at least four stars, if not five.
The reason I bother to mention them here is that I remembered how much I loved them long after I'd forgotten the name of the series and the author. I thought about them from time to time over the years and wished I could remember the name. I was delighted to see them mentioned recently on an online book discussio...more

Fabulous grammer and english. makes me want to be in a girls hostel. Every student must read this. I have read it 3 times, the entire series and own it as well.
this book is really amazing.It is about the life of teenage girls of my age,so i like it more than any other book it is one of my favourite books! <3
If there's one thing I've wished I had done, it's attending Malory Towers and being friends with Darrell, Sally, Irene, Alicia, Felicity and the rest.. :)
My favourite as a kid...i remember craving to study in a boarding after reading them....would highly recommend them to Ananya once she's old enough!!
I discovered these books while visiting my Grandmother in England. I read them over and over again and longed to be sent off to boarding school.
read all the books in the series.as a kid I was so impressed & desperately wanted to go to a Boarding School in England!
This is a real childhood memory. You should read this if you are a beginner reader. Really good books for children.
my childhood was built on a staple diet of malory towers and it never ever bores me! love these books!
For a reader between 11 and 14, this would be a solid 4. But for me, it was a 3 due to the heavy-handed narration.
