by Elisabeth Smedley

"Even mumps could not quench the love of adventure and lively wit of the six Jays of Moorland Grange School, and their time in the a San. is well spent in writing "masterpieces" to send to the seventh Jay abroad.  A mystery and detective story, a thriller, tales of school and sport, and a charming Christmas episode make up an excellent collection - and the frank criticism with which each is received is even better."
