Short Review: A coming of age young adult book from late 1940s about a boarding school in post WWII world. A very early book to talk about the effects of war on children. It also has a sub-theme of being an introvert which I don't think was handled all that well. But the story as a whole is pretty good and translates pretty well more than 50 years after it was written.
