Have been doing some re-reading of Antonia Forest books (including Spring Term which I had only read once before and couldn't remember much at all 
)
As is probably clear I do like Miranda very much :) And also like Rowan too. Ginty annoys me, as does Lawrie to a lesser extent.
I enjoy reading about Nicola but in real life I think I would find her a bit intimidating.
I do sometimes think I might be an Esther. But at least I am not a Lois....
