Stacey’s First Term / Haunted by the Past!

Debbie, , , ,

Plot

It was Stacey Moores first term at her new boarding school St Mead’s.  Without meaning to  Stacey had given the impression that Phillipa Gray, a famous actress, was her aunt. She was finding it hard to own up to the truth.

Stacey and her new friends, Diane and Jill, return in a sequel, Haunted by the Past! They were trying to help a ghost who she was wrongly accused of stealing a jewel.

Notes

  • Photo story
  • Unusually, in just the first episode, Stacey thinks about her home and those memories are hand-drawn by George Martin (rather than photo).
