Philippa loves her beautiful South American home, where she lives with her father. An only child, and motherless, it is hard for Philippa to face the idea of leaving her father and her pleasant life for England and school, Aunt Agatha and her cousins. Of course Philippa must go to school and make friends of her own age, but will she be happy in England? Will she find it hard to adapt herself to a different way of life, a different climate?
For the first two years in England Philippa studies at home with her cousins; then she goes to school at The Hollies and it is there that she finds a wonderful friend in Cathy Winstanley. School life and holidays with the Winstanley family help Philippa to grow up into a warm and delightful person, with an ever increasing love of England.
