Set at a prestigious boarding school in Cornwall, Colgan's four-part "Little School by the Sea" series has appeared in the UK (under the name Jane Beaton) but not in the United States and is now being rolled out one at a time through winter 2023. In this first volume, new teacher Maggie arrives at the school exhilarated by her job but fearful of losing her boyfriend, while scholarship student Simone wants to fit in and rebellious Fliss wants to get out. With a 75,000-copy paperback and 30,000-copy hardcover first printing.
