I liked but wasn't blown away by Clare Mallory's Merry books, but the last couple have just been terrific: Juliet Overseas and this one. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on all the rest (GGBP seem set on republishing the lot.)
There was a midnight feast in this one, and nobody got caught. They just had the feast, and that was it. Yum! I think some of the older students worked it out, but didn't have the heart to shop them in, because they were all such troopers. Aw!
What I also like is that - so far as I can remember - all her books have a moment when a sixth-former (usually) looks at a teacher and perceives her as a human being for the first time (rather than a teacher or abstract authority figure). Lovely.
