About this ebook
Shortlisted for the 2016 Indie Book Awards
Olive has always dreamed of attending boarding school, but Mrs Groves' Boarding School for Naughty Boys, Talking Animals and Circus Performers is not what she expected. The headmistress is completely befuddled and Pig McKenzie, school bully, is determined to make Olive's life unbearable.
Olive, clever and kind, soon gains the loyalty of three rats, a short-sighted moose, a compulsive liar and a goose who faints at the sight of cherries. But will friendship and wits be enough when Pig McKenzie puts his Truly Wicked Plan into gear? Or will Olive be cast out of Groves forever?
Multi-award-winning author Katrina Nannestad charms with a series that will keep you giggling, gasping and sighing with delight.
