Whyteleafe School is surprisingly progressive for the 1940s. Enid Blyton's Froebel-based teacher-training course no doubt inspired her and it's possible that Summerhill in Suffolk was another influence. Not only is Whyteleafe co-educational, but discipline and decision-making are in the hands of the pupils. Head Boy William and Head Girl Rita act as Judges at weekly meetings together with a Jury of twelve elected monitors, dishing out advice, praise or penalties as they see fit. Headmistresses Miss Belle and Miss Best ("the Beauty and the Beast") explain that "We never punish anyone, Elizabeth... we leave any naughty person to the rest of the children to deal with." In addition, pupils are expected to pool all their money and are given a considerable degree of responsibility, taking charge (up to a point) of the school gardens and stables, and being allowed to keep pets. William and Rita are the head children at Whyteleafe School. They are very understanding and kind and firm in a way. They are well known and highly appreciated around the school. they are the judges at the school meetings and they are also looked up at by almost all the students.

Richard is a sensitive boy who is brilliant at music. Once Richard and Elizabeth used to be enemies but becomes one of Elizabeth's best friends. he also plays a duet with Elizabeth at the end of term concert and whispers to Elizabeth "you're a good sort!" when Elizabeth decides to stay on at Whyteleafe School. Nora O'Sullivan, a monitor at Whyteleafe school, is a girl who upholds its traditions. She is very responsible, jolly and sensible, but does not look below the surface. Elizabeth gets into a lot of trouble with the sometimes unreasonable and strict monitor. Nora looks after the girls in dormitory 6 including Elizabeth, Joan, Ruth, Belinda and Helen. Nora is a strict but fair girl and hates it if the school's traditions are disobeyed. She is Irish. Like Richard, John Terry is also a one sided boy, devoted to gardening and little else. Elizabeth and John have a very good relationship early in the book. John is fond of gardening, due to his and Elizabeth′s common interest in gardening, they become good friends, Elizabeth helping John with his gardening.Books in Naughtiest Girl are yet-to-be-adapted into films. However, there are many film adaptations of other Blyton’s literary works, most notably Famous Five series. Actress Valeria Eisenbart starred Famous Five (2012 movie), Famous Five 2 (2013 movie), and Famous Five 3 (2014 movie).

W. Lindsay Cable and Kenneth Lovell were the original illustrators of the books. Blyton also wrote a short story, and six new books were written by Anne Digby in 1999-2000. Naughtiest Girl Books, Stories and Games The second is named “Trebizon” series, penned by Anne Digby. Written by Blyton’s co-author, it is all about school stories set in a fictitious school named Trebizon. Though The Naughtiest Girl series was the first set of school stories written and published by Blyton, it shared similar character tropes and plot points with Blyton’s other two school series – St. Clare’s and Malory Towers. All three had an intelligent student with a don’t-care attitude, a musical genius, students studying similar subjects and engaging in similar extracurriculars. There were even similarities in the problems faced by the students in the different series. For example, Sally, one of the characters in Malory Towers, spends the first term worried that her mother doesn’t love her, much like Joan in The Naughtiest Girl.

Tina Wilson - Also known as 'Teeny', a small, timid junior girl in 'The Naughtiest Girl Helps a Friend'The third is titled “The Marlows” series, penned by Antonia Forest. Consisting of eleven works, it features the Marlows family and chronicles the experiences of their school-going children who attend a boarding school named Kingscote. The Naughtiest Girl FAQs Michael was Joan's twin brother who died from an illness while Joan survived. As a result, Joan's parents ignored her until Elizabeth's actions instigated a meeting and Joan's mother told Joan the truth at Whyteleafe. Michael was described as "bonny and laughing" while Joan was described as "sulky and selfish" and Joan's parents couldn't help loving him more as they always wanted a boy and didn't care much for girls. But it was the student government body of Whyteleafe that entranced me the most. The kind of independence given to the students was amazing to read about – the students got to vote for their representatives who’d then take all kinds of decisions together. While teachers were present during the meetings, the proceedings were left to the students, with the former only stepping in for matters beyond the scope of the students. Even when a student got caught cheating and was assigned extra time with his teacher, the report of his progress got sent to the Head Boy who then read it out to the whole school.

Here's the naughtiest girl Boxid IA1888113 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier Yes, there are traits that Elizabeth shares with characters from Malory Towers and St. Clare’s. Her manner of playing practical jokes is reminiscent of the ones played by Janet (from St. Clare’s) and Alicia (from Malory Towers), her hot-headed nature reminds me of Darrell, and her obstinacy is on the same level as the O’Sullivan twins. And yet, Elizabeth stands out as a more vibrant character for me. Her hot-headed and kind-hearted nature is balanced by a clever mind, which I find more interesting than any of the other characters created by Blyton. The main character is Elizabeth Allen, a very spoiled girl whose misbehaviour causes her governesses to leave. She is sent to Whyteleafe School – pronounced Whiteleaf [2] – and is determined to behave so badly that she will be expelled. But, in the middle of her first term, she discovers how lonely she was as an only child, and starts to behave. The second main character is her best friend Joan Townsend, who does her best to get Elizabeth to behave. Also, in the second book, The Naughtiest Girl Again, she makes two enemies (Robert Jones and Kathleen Peters) but then becomes great friends with them later on; while the third book The Naughtiest Girl is a Monitor, is as much about fellow pupils Julian and Arabella as it is about her.
