A Guernsey Girl at the Chalet School: 19 por Amy Fletcher
Not her best, tbh. I have read and enjoyed Amy Fletcher's other Chalet School fill-ins, but with this one I felt something lacking. There is a lot of information about the War and some details about how life would have felt for people at the time. She also includes information about Guiding activities, and gardening. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but I felt a little disappointed.

An excellent fill-in to the lengthy Chalet School series, covering the 'missing' year in the middle of the book 'Chalet School in Exile'.
Amy Fletcher's volume describes the run-up to Jo and Jack's wedding, the gradual decline in health of Margot Venables, the birth of Josette Russell, and the search for suitable premises for a Guernsey-based Chalet School. It answers some questions about how various folk escaped from Austria in ways that feel authentic, and in places is quite moving.
Definitely recommended if you're a fan of the series and don't mind non-canonical books to fill in some of the gaps. But it wouldn't work as a stand-alone as the number of characters would be overwhelming to anyone unfamiliar with them already.
