Pandora and her friends are dismayed and resentful when a new headmistress brings changes to Bryngarth School in North Wales, but Pandora's younger sister Felicity welcomes the new free regime. Also the new head has three daughters, all of whom are missing their old co-educational school, Clondale - especially the middle one, who is most unhappy due to the unfriendliness of Pandora and her friends. However, against the backdrop of this uneasy term, there are excitements, including the International Eisteddfodd, which brings people from many countries to the Welsh Valley, and also on the camp at the end of term - which nearly ends in disaster.
