The Olive of Groves series by Katrina Nannestad is one of my favourite series. It's all about a girl called Olive who goes starts at a boarding school called Mrs Groves Boarding School for Naughty Boys, Talking Animals and Circus Performers. Olive isn't any of these things so she has to learn how to fit in. I love everything about this book, from the crazy antics to the loveable characters.
Olive is only one of the many wonderful characters that inhabit Mrs Groves Boarding School for Naughty Boys, Talking Animals and Circus Performers. If you step through the doors you’ll meet Blimp (a rat with a large bottom), Wordsworth (a rat who loves words), Chester (a rat who loves buttons), Glenda the Goose (who faints at the thought of the nine times tables), Reuben the Rabbit (who loves nothing more than a good spin in the washing machine), Fumble (a shy talking moose), Mrs Groves (the ‘teeny-weeny bit odd’ headmistress), the villain of the story, Pig McKenzie, and many, many more. I love all the characters, but my favourites are the three rats – Blimp, Wordsworth and Chester.
We have the first three books in the Olive of Groves series in the library now so come and grab them.
