The Daisy Chain

'The Daisy Chain' by Diane Guntrip is the sequel to 'Dear H'. It is written to appeal to girls of 13 - 15+ years. Having won a scholarship, Amanda begins her Vocal Studies as a boarder at the famous St Celia's Academy of Music. This involves leaving home for the first time and being confronted by a totally new environment. She continues to write in her diary to 'H', her imaginary friend with whom she shares her innermost feelings.

At the Academy, Amanda quickly makes friends with Immie and Simon. She is adamant that no one will suffer at the hands of bullies as she was in 'Dear H' and is determined that if she hears of any bullying incidents, she will form a support group for those being bullied.

After being introduced to Jessica, she is spurred on in her efforts to make a start on forming the Daisy Chain anti-bullying group.

Along the way, Amanda introduces us to new characters, Tilly, an older student who is sadly forced to leave the Academy and Charlotte who suffers with a stutter. The story would not be complete if there was no refernce to Cassandra, the bully who featured in 'Dear H'. Catch up with her and read of her dreadful downfall!

The ideal book for girls from the age of 13 years.
