First Term at Malory Towers – No. 1

First Team at Malory Towers is the first Malory Towers book by Enid Blyton. The book introduces the main characters including Darrell Rivers, Sally Hope, Mary-Lou, Alicia Johns, Gwendoline Mary Lacey, and teachers as Miss Potts and Miss Grayling.

Darrell River is off to boarding school for the first time.

She quickly settles down and makes new friends, including the clever and mischievous Alicia, who delights the form with her practical jokes. But the first term is not all fun and Darrelll has some tricky problems to cope with : her dreadful temper, the mystery of Sally Hope’s odd behaviour and the spiteful tricks played on shy Mary Lou.
