THE BOOK CASE Emily Lime, Book 1

Narrator Colleen Prendergast deftly transports listeners to St. Rita's School in rural England where eccentric teachers and librarians rule and girls battle each other physically and verbally. Troublemaker Daphne Blakeway is surprised to be invited to attend the school since she's been expelled from numerous other institutions. Even she is shocked at the vicious girls she encounters. Helpful and mysterious George, Prendergast's best creation, has a streetwise style, a one-of-a-kind voice, and uncanny insights. Listeners will enjoy the chase when librarian Emily Lime, Daphne, and George discover that a school administrator is stealing money meant for library books. After many false starts, which are convincingly conveyed, Lime and her team prevail, catching the thief and collecting a reward that will unite everyone.
