![]() His father died in 1897 and had a lasting impact on Ransome. ![]() Later he attended Yorkshire College, his father's college and studied chemistry. Ransome received a formal education first in Windemere and then at Rugby School (where he lived in Lewis Carroll's study room) but he hated it, due to poor vision, lack of athletic skills, and not so great grades. ![]() But first she has to put the camera down and let the world in.īorn in 1884 in Leeds, Arthur Mitchell Ransome was an English author and journalist, best known for writing the Swallows and Amazons series for children. Boarding school, though, and her roommates and even the Midwest are nothing like she thought they would be, and soon Viola realizes she may be in for the most incredible year of her life. She resorts to viewing the world (and hiding) behind the lens of her video camera. There's no way Viola's going to survive the year-especially since she has to replace her best friend Andrew with three new roommates who, disturbingly, actually seem to like it there. Now Viola is stuck for a whole year in the sherbet-colored sweater capital of the world. ![]() Viola doesn't want to go to boarding school, but somehow she ends up at an all-girls school in South Bend, Indiana, far, far away from her home in Brooklyn, New York. I sure hope this does not get us into any trouble. I just realized that I accidentally shelved this book, not knowing that it had not been released yet. ![]()
