Lädt ... A Chalet Girl from Kenya (1955)von Elinor M. Brent-Dyer
![]() Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. One of the more interesting of the series. Jo Scott is a good character, well-drawn and not too "Mary Sue"-ish, despite the award she gets. Of course, as is bound to be the case with any CS book with a white girl who has spent most of her life living in a country that doesn't have a white majority (in this case Kenya, as per the title), there is a good deal of cultural appropriation that takes place - though markedly less racism than in most books of its kind. If you can grit your teeth through that and some of the religious content, you may enjoy the book - there're just a couple of places I actively cringed, both of which are relatively near the end of the book.

A lot of day-to-day school descriptions makes this book feel a bit samey; this is part of the sequence set in the Swiss Oberland, in the 1950s. But Jo Scott manages to be a very likeable girl despite having no remarkable abilities. She's kind, sensible and courageous.
Nothing special about the book, and not a good one to start with, but recommended in a low-key way to anyone who enjoys the series in general. Three and a half stars, really.
