Summary

"The School Queens" by L. T. Meade is a story about twins, Cicely and Merry Cardew who live a pampered life at Meredith Manor until Maggie Howland enters their world and inspires them to seek an education. The twins spend their days in luxury, but after meeting Maggie, and spending time with their friends, Molly Tristram and her sister, Merry wants more than her current lifestyle. This sets the stage for a tale of friendship, personal growth, and finding one's place beyond the confines of wealth and privilege, particularly as it could conflict with what their parents want.
