I didn'trealise this was the second book following on from The Secrets of DrearcliffGrange School and I feel I may have missed something because I didn't readthe second book. I loved the idea of the book, a sort of St Trinian's forgifted girls, daughters of superheroes, evil masterminds and the like. It is alot of fun and has a wealth of possibilities. I loved the opening of the book whenAmy and her fellow pupils take part in 'The Great Game'. This section of thebook is crazy at times and packed with action and drama. The book takes adownturn when Amy and co return to the school and story becomes embroiled inschool politics. I found this dull at times. There are too many characters tokeep track off and very little to make me care. There are pages and pages ofjust information overload and no actual action of activity. I may read thefirst book to see if this changes my mind.
