According to Bonza Schooldays, 'With Wendy at Winterton School follows Wendy's progression from a rebellious new girl to a valued member of the school [...] Wendy, the daughter of a butcher, is initially concerned the school will be full of snobs, showing her dislike for Felicity, the Head Prefect. When the Head compares Wendy's disloyalty to that of war traitors, Wendy begins to change her attitude and reconciles with Felicity, realising her error in judgement.'
