One of my absolute favourites of the Chalet School series; possibly because it doesn't, in fact, feature the Chalet School itself! In this story, Phoebe, who is confined to a wheelchair despite only being 23, is delighted when the holiday home nearby is occupied by four friends and a large number of small children.

One of the women is Jo Maynard, who recognises Phoebe's wistful loneliness. She befriends her and advises her in an ethical problem, as well as providing protection in various ways. Very light reading, but surprisingly moving in places. Definitely recommended to anyone who likes this kind of book, written in the middle of the 20th century for teenage girls.
