Sophie James is now a grade 10 and returning to Castle School for another winter term. What she hopes will be a quiet term becomes the opposite. Storms batter Mitchellton and surrounds, resulting in floods, and Castle School jumps in to help out with relief operations-quite literally on the part of Bec. On top of all that, there is the mysterious little old lady that gatecrashes the concert. It is a term full of surprises once again, and as always there are lessons to be learned along the way.

This the fifth book in the Castle School series and is perfect for readers ages 8-14.
