NOTE: Received as an ARC from Netgalley.more I’m sadly remiss in my reading of boarding school stories (unless you count Life With Mother Superior and Daddy Longlegs), but this book has inspired me to catch up. I love a book that mentions so many of my own favorites while increasing my TBR list.

Can Calla, her friends, and a motley crew of nuns defeat an evil new headmistress and find Elizabeth before it’s too late?. Then Calla receives the terrible news that her mother's plane has gone missing. No adventures are likely to find her there-or so she thinks. But while her mother’s off exploring, Calla winds up at boarding school. When Elizabeth is offered a well-paid research trip to the Amazon, it's an opportunity too good to miss. Elizabeth happens to be the world's leading expert on ducks-but unfortunately, being an expert on ducks doesn't always pay the bills (no pun intended).
But while her mother’s off exploring, Calla Calla North and her mother Elizabeth live a quiet but happy life together. Calla North and her mother Elizabeth live a quiet but happy life together.
