"The Manor School" by L. T. Meade, introduces us to Christian Mitford, a thirteen-year-old girl with a wild imagination, at the beginning of the 20th century. Upset by her parent's decision to send her to a rigid, imprisoning school because of their upcoming move to Persia, Christian's story centers on her spirited attempts to escape this unwanted destiny with her friend, Rose. Driven by a hunger for adventure and a deep desire for freedom, Christian crafts adventurous tales in the attics of her home, until the news of her impending schooling threatens to dampen her creative spirit. This threat catalyzes Christian's plans for escape, promising a narrative rich with the struggles of childhood, the strength of friendship, and the pursuit of independence against the backdrop of societal expectations.
