| Notes |
âIn her new book for older girls Gladys Lister continues the story of Jennifer Hogarth, the charming heroine of âJennifer stands byâ. Jennifer is a young English girl in her middle teens who has persuaded her grandmother to take her to Australia on discovering that she has a twin brother, John, and that he and her father are living there. After the many adventures described so vividly in âJennifer stands byâ, the Hogarth family settle in Sydney. Jenniferâs education has not yet been completed and she is introduced to the world of school for the first time; but her happiest days are the many holidays and weekends spent with John and his friend Teddy Ainsley at the Ainsleyâs âtownâ house and in the country. Then more adventure comes into their lives when Jennifer and John accompany their father on a business trip to New Guinea. John becomes lost in the jungle, and before they see the shores of Australia again the twins undergo many exciting experiences. This delightful book will capture the imagination of every young girl, and will have a special appeal for those who like a touch of adventure and mystery mingled with the familiar and ever-interesting doings of school and home. â (From dust jacket) |
