She becomes a little more daring like Alicia, a little more ambitious I suppose is the way to look at it. Darrell becomes a different character away from her friend, one I’m not entirely sure I like all too much, there is just something about the loss of steady Sally that means Darrell loses something. We feel the loss of Sally by Darrell’s side as much as Darrell does, but when she teams up with form joker Alicia, Darrell seems to stop missing her best friend because there is so much more going on. She is also 16 and, as Darrell notes, likely to be in a higher form. Unfortunately, as we find out later on, Zerelda has no acting talent what so ever. Zerelda also has aspirations to be a grand movie actress like her heroine, Lossie Laxton. Zerelda already thinks herself above the English girls and treats Darrell patronizingly when she talks to her.

From the description we are given of her when we first meet her, the over all impression is of disbelief, and wonderment if American girls were really so different from their English counter-parts. Zerelda Brass is an American girl and right from the beginning (because Darrell doesn’t like the sound of her very much) the readers are also a bit wary/intrigued by this new girl. Darrell is also a little concerned that her parents have agreed to pick up a new girl, Zerelda Brass, on the way to Malory Towers. We start off with Darrell at her house just about to leave for school and lamenting the fact that her best friend, Sally, is in quarantine for mumps.

I probably shan’t be able to adequately describe the reasons why I love this book, but I hope to try. Not to mention that it contains one of my three characters: Wilhelmina “Bill” Robinson. There is something about the atmosphere and the real emotions that bring this book alive for me. I do love this book, and next to In the Fifth at Malory Towers it has to be my favourite Malory Towers books. In fact it is only the spring term (at closest guess) as the girls come back in the cold and are squabbling over places next to the radiator. Third Year at Malory Towers isn’t quite the entire full year that the title suggests.
