Seventeen-year-old Frankie is an American girl living in London. She is no stranger to corporal punishment, having been on the receiving end of her father's paddle. But when Frankie and her boyfriend are taken to the police station after being caught smoking a joint, Daddy has had enough! A hard paddling ensues, but worse is yet to come as Frankie learns she is being sent away to boarding school. She arrives at Greystones feeling despondent and resentful, but soon starts making friends. The school enforces a strict disciplinary policy, and it isn't long before the irrepressible Frankie is experiencing eye-watering bare bottom slipperings, paddlings and canings. Her natural exuberance and defiance gets her into hot water, but taking turps from the Art room and nearly burning the school to the ground results in a fearsome punishment! Still, Frankie takes it stoically, proving she's a true Greystones girl at heart, a girl who thrives in this new environment... especially now she has Melanie for her best friend.

The Girls of Greystones Boarding School is a six-volume series. Francesca is the fifth book, and like all books in the series, can be read as a stand-alone novella - though we think you'll derive even more enjoyment if you read all six!
