The girls, many of whose names start with the letter J, find themselves quarantined for measles, which was and is a life-threatening disease in many parts of the world. The virulent anti-vaccine lobby should read this book to teach them what the world was like before herd immunity existed, i.e. COVID-19. But the first half of the 20th century was a time when young and old died of measles, polio, mumps and rubella. However, the quarantine doesn't stop Jen and Jackie from having all kinds of adventures!

Avril rated it it was amazing.My favourite in the whole series, the book in which we meet Rosamund and Maidlin. Some painful class-consciousness, and a promotion of noblesse oblige that sometimes sets my radicalOxenham, Elsie J. on edge—but still a wonderful escape for times when the real world is difficult.Note: This is the abridged edition from The Children's Press. We have the full edition under development.
