Marion Park, the daughter of missionaries, is sent to Miss Ashton's boarding school. There she meets with many young girls and together they learn not just lessons in German, Logic, Arithmetic, Latin and Rhetoric, but also life lessons of study habits, lady like manners, self control, thoughtfulness of others, truthfulness, and many other character traits. Join these girls of Montrose Academy as they plunge into the adventures of a secret society, fall into a scrape with the boys of Atherton Academy, and plan many Holiday festivities.

A little boring

Although Marion Park is supposed to be the main character, the author focuses on other characters for about a third of the book. This scrapes in at three stars for me. Although it was at times spiritually encouraging, and surprisingly feminist for it's time, it was somewhat dull and insipid. Nothing truly interesting ever seemed to happen, yet I was sufficiently engaged to finish reading it. The narrator read well, although she was a little fast for me.
