We first met Ruey Richardson in Joey and Co in Tyrol, at the end of which she and her brothers become wards of the Maynards. And now she is joining the Chalet School.
She plays a large part in reintroducing lacrosse to the School, but finds she has a ready-made enemy in Francie Wilford.
Not only does she have problems at the Chalet School, her father takes off on a flight to the moon (several years before anyone landed on it) which Ruey finds extremely difficult. However, by the end of term when final news comes of her father, she has solved her problems at school, and also found a relative in someone who has married a very Old Girl.
