It is the summer of 1949 in Maillardville, British Columbia, and the school year looms for Sophie. Starting classes at her new school, Notre Dame de Fatima, Sophie is happy to escape the old Alderson Avenue School where stuck-up Elizabeth Proctor and her friends rule. Although uncertain about her new situation at first, she soon finds herself enjoying life at a school where French is the first language. But trouble develops when the teachers go on strike and Sophie is forced back into Alderson. Will she have to endure as an outcast? Or will she, like Star Girl, save the day with a daring rescue? |
