The story focuses on Mary Trevor, 'an incorrigible
thirteen-year-old Fourth Former at Fairview College, a girls' school in
Hornsby, in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney. Mary plays the fool in her
classes and is such a disruptive influence that the Head, Miss Maxwell,
enlists the help of prefect Rosalie Melrose to try to reform Mary.

and his family'. Source: Bonza Schooldays.
