Description

A bright‑eyed girl named Peggy finds herself thrust into the bustling world of a New England boarding school, where a simple mix‑up with a cousin’s name lands her in a solitary dormitory meant for the proper Miss Montfort. From the moment she stumbles into the principal’s office, her clumsy charm and quick humor turn a nervous introduction into a lively start, setting the tone for a story that celebrates the thrills and embarrassments of growing up away from home.

As Peggy navigates hallway mishaps, new friendships, and the expectations of her teachers, she discovers that a misnamed identity can become a doorway to confidence. The narrative balances gentle comedy with heartfelt moments, offering listeners a vivid portrait of school life, camaraderie, and the small victories that shape a young girl’s sense of self. It’s a warm, engaging tale that captures the spirit of youthful adventure in a lovingly rendered New England setting.
