"It's the holidays for the girls of the famous Chalet School, and they are no less eventful than the term time... Melanie Lucas is not pleased to be leaving her beloved St. Katherine's to live in Switzerland. She is only a little consoled to know that she can stay at the school until the end of the term, but then a bad bout of chickenpox means an earlier then expectd arrival in Geneva. Thus Melanie finds herself spending a month with Joey Maynard's triplets, and sharing in so much excitement and adventure that her old longing for St Katherine's is replaced by delight at knowing that the following term she herself will be a Chalet School girl" --Back cover.

Mélanie Lucas is the new addition to the series who appears in this book. Her parents work abroad and she lives with her aunt and uncle in the UK. By a sequence of coincidences, she ends up staying with the Maynard family. I quite liked reading about Jo and Jack’s ‘singleton’ sons, Steve, Mike and Charles, who don’t appear in the school-based stories. They’re perhaps a bit caricatured but likeable enough, and with quite distinct characters.
There are several expeditions made, with a great deal of overtly educational content about history, geography and myths pertaining to the places. This happens in the school-based stories too, but I wasn’t expecting it in this one. There was rather too much detail about the food taken on picnics, in an almost Blyton style, and who exactly was going to do which job in preparation. This Armada version isn't cut down much, if at all, from the original, but I thought it could have done with losing just a little of the extraneous detail.
Still, it made a good story, an easy read ideal for evenings when I was tired. Certainly worth reading for those, like me, reading through or re-visiting the entire series. ( )
