I had not read the Drina books since I was a child and I recently re-read them all. I read the first 5 as a child and then as a teen I hunted down the final 6 once I realized they existed. I am happy to say that for the most part they hold up to the test of time. They are very much in the style of British school stories but I quite like those. I think the whole series is definitely worth the effort it takes to hunt them down. ( )

Loved these books when I was about 12, never had the heart to get rid of them. Well written, if a bit Mary Sue at times, they're still an enjoyable read. Written in the '50's they're pure nostalgia. ( )
