The Third Form at St Clare's: Book 5 by Pamela Cox, Enid Blyton

⭐4/5

Pertama kali baca seri ini tuh pas SD, minjem di sepupu, dan aku kayak bisa ngerti deh kenapa yg dibeli loncat dari pertama lanjut ke seri kelima. Ternyata buku ini konfliknya banyak banget!

Aku bisa dibilang agak lupa sama isinya kayak gimana, jadi emang ini termasuk ke reread sih. Ada beberapa adegan yang aku lupa gimana pemecahan masalahnya. Bahkan aku sampe keliru sama konflik di seri yang lain (kayaknya di Malory Towers deh, eh atau di buku selanjutnya? haha) saking lupanya di part ituu.

Orang-orang baru yg muncul di sini juga paling rame dari semester-semester sebelumnya. Sifat-sifat mereka juga makin beraneka ragam.

Bisa dibilang, perbedaan kesan antara pas aku SD sama pas kuliah adalah kesanku ke Claudine sama Alison. Dulu aku nganggep Claudine tuh keren banget!! Tapi ternyata dia bengal juga, bahkan lebih daripada Bobby sama Janet. Atau dia nih lebih ke gabungan antara anak-anak jahil sama anak-anak manja di sana, alias bener-bener abu banget deh!
Kalo Alison, dulu baca seri St. Clare kan loncat ya, jadi gatau sama sifat babunya itu. Harusnya sih dia udah berubah ya di semester ini. Di buku selanjutnya mesti udah waras dong ya. Aku seneng banget Alison di seri inii.

Yah, secara garis besar, memang buku ke-5 seri St. Clare ini yang paling kompleks permasalahannya. Didukung juga sama usia dan derajat mereka yang lebih tinggi dan dewasa sekarang. Aku mengharapkan cerita yg lebih menarik lagi sih untuk buku selanjutnya, mumpung belum baca (seingetku belum sih) peace! ✌️

I hate to be disloyal to my girl Enid, but this one is probably my fave in the series thus far 🤭

It does somehow feel different from the usual Enid Blyton's, though the characters, place, and everything else stays the same. Still enjoying it, as usual, my St. Clare girls.

The Pamela Cox books aren't quite the same, but they're still fun and enjoyable. Third form is fun and the sharing with the second form disaster is very believable!
