The Naughtiest Girl #10
The Naughtiest Girl Marches On
Elizabeth is overjoyed to be appointed monitor again, especially when the new head-boy and girl have such exciting ideas. But one of the second form boys is slowly turning all the other boys against her, starting with a nasty note in her desk and ending with a false tip-off about a midnight pillow fight in the boys' dormitory. Rather than report it, Elizabeth plans to investigate - and, with the help of some friends, unleash a surprise waterpistol attack on the boys. But Elizabeth has been set up, as she discovers when she runs straight into their form teacher and the head boy - mistakenly squirting them both with water. Now, Elizabeth is in trouble again - and she could lose her prized monitor's role. Can she find out who has a grudge against her - and why?

All I have to say is that you need to read the whole series.

Not that good a book for being the last of a series... it is about how Elizabeth's friends, Julian and Joan helped her to become a successful monitor. Joan even gave up her own monitorship to let Elizabeth remain (and Julian to become) a monitor.

I've finally finished the Naughtiest Girl series and now that I've finished it I'm a little sad that's the last I'll read about Elizabeth Allen.
In this book Elizabeth is a monitor again and loving the responsibility that comes with it, everything is going well for Elizabeth until she finds out Patrick's secret which she is desperate to tell but Patrick doesn't want anyone else to know, this all leads to Elizabeth finding something out about Jake a boy in her year who has his own secret which Elizabeth ends up telling which upsets Jake and Elizabeth finds herself in trouble with the other boys who start a campaign to get a boy in their year to be monitor as they think it's unfair that Elizabeth and Joan two girls are their years monitors.
I thought the series would have ended a bit more final as the book just ends like all the other books in the series, so I was quite surprised as the series could have definitely continued.

Once again, Elizabeth gets into a muddle because of her temper and saying more than she should. It all comes right in the end, if course. I enjoyed this series, I only wish there were 2+ books to complete her time at Whyteleaf school.

Elizabeth is so pleased to be a monitor again - but who is writing nasty notes telling her to stand down?
At least the Naughtiest Girl series ends - for now - with Elizabeth back on top. But how frustrating that the central storyline is about boys not wanting to have a girl as a monitor and everyone agreeing that it’s a valid point of view. Even in 1999, when this was first published, there should have been a better way to deal with this as a storyline. And even in Blyton’s own world of Whyteleafe, it’s based on a stupid premise as right from the first book, it’s clear that you can have one monitor in class and a different one in dorm. But the series as a whole, with Elizabeth learning lessons about how to understand other people, has been a good one.

I think courage as a theme has come twice in the series now and I like what has been put across. There's some mischief, some misunderstanding, some fun. I wish there was more to come in the series, like Elizabeth becoming Head Girl or something. It's a shame the series ends with her just in second form at the school.

I could connect with the mischief and fun through and through. A must read for every school-girl. After all, only work and no play would make us such prudes!
A story that would resonate with every school girl across ages and generations.

Elizabeth is very proud of being a monitor once again but somebody is against her and tricks her friends into thinking she is once again the bold bad girl of the first term. She gets into trouble because of it but manages to work things out in the end.

The girls solved a mystery and Elizabeth cheered for Jack, I got emotional and cried while dreading this book.

What a nice way to end the series! Wish we could have more Elizabeth (and Julian, of course!)'s adventures. What a perfect pair of best friend they are

This series is the one that introduced me to Enid Blyton’s books and it remains my favourite of all till date.
Elizabeth is a spoilt brat who is sent to Whyteleafe so that she can learn and be disciplined. Even there she comes to be known as the naughtiest girl in school. But slowly she blossoms into a wonderful girl (who can be bratty if she wants to be) with slight push from her teachers and a lot of help from her friends.
The series led me to romanticize the life at a boarding school (which I later experienced for myself) and taught me a lot of life lessons. I particularly loved how the girls formed a group to make decisions and solve any problems on their own.
There’s a lot of lessons to be learnt from these pages and I consider this series to be one of the must reads for every child (boy or girl) while growing up.

Is this the final book? Well, Elizabeth is still rather young, and even if there are no more Anne Digby books I imagine someone could take up the mantle. The funny thing is that Elizabeth doesn't really seem to be growing up; at least not in the same way the St. Clare's or Malory Tower's girls did by the end. Oh well, there are plenty more terms of her life to go, maybe one day we'll see Elizabeth as head girl!
This one had some interesting twists and turns, and most people would probably be happy with the ending. Moving on to something completely different now, but I'll leave this one with four stars too.

In book ten, Elizabeth is overjoyed to be appointed monitor again. But one of the second form boys is turning all the other boys against her, starting with a nasty note in her desk and ending with a false tip-off about a midnight pillow fight in the boys' dormitory. I recommend everyone to read this book!!

I read this series when I was around eight or nine years old, and I'm rating it as I would have then. I just re-read them again with a nine-year-old, and it is still oh so enjoyable.

That ending is a little too open-ended but other than that I actually love this series.

How to read it! Someone help! Pls reply.

My daughters and I are sad that the series has ended. Another fun instalment in the series where Elizabeth gets into trouble. I think Anne Digby has done a wonderful job in continuing the series.

It is a very interesting and good book for children. I liked Patrick but when his truth came out I loathed him. Then I also like Julian as well as Elizabeth and Joan.
