---

Alice-Miranda at School is a delightful, heartwarming children's fiction and mystery novel written by the highly acclaimed Australian author Jacqueline Harvey. Published in 2010, this book serves as the brilliant debut installment in the globally bestselling Alice-Miranda series, which has captured the hearts of young readers worldwide with its charm, wit, and boarding school adventures.

The Synopsis
The story introduces Alice-Miranda Hillington-Melloy, an extraordinary, fiercely independent, and endlessly optimistic seven-and-a-quarter-year-old girl. Unlike most children her age, Alice-Miranda has made a definitive decision: she wants to attend boarding school. She packs her bags and enrolls at Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy for Proper Young Ladies, a historic and prestigious institution.

However, upon her arrival, Alice-Miranda discovers that the school is far from the cheerful haven she imagined:

The academy is shrouded in a gloomy, tense atmosphere.

The teachers are stressed, the students are quietly miserable, and the school's strict rules feel suffocating.

Worse of all, the enigmatic headmistress, Miss Grimm, hasn't been seen outside her secluded tower apartment in over a decade, ruling the school through fear, intimidation, and harsh written memos.

Instead of being discouraged, Alice-Miranda views this dreary environment as an exciting challenge. Armed with an unshakeable belief in the goodness of people, impeccable manners, and a sharp, logical mind, she sets out to fix the school.

To prove her worth and earn her place at the academy, Alice-Miranda is forced by Miss Grimm to complete a series of seemingly impossible tasks—including a grueling camping test and a sailing trial. Along the way, she uncovers deep-seated mysteries, exposes long-held school secrets, and relies on her kindness and quick wit to melt the coldest hearts, ultimately attempting to coax Miss Grimm out of hiding to restore joy to Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale.
