Ms. Rapscott’s Girls will literally blow you away!
No need to apply to attend Great Rapscott School for Girls of Busy Parents! The adventure begins with a letter of acceptance that arrives at the homes of Beatrice, Mildred, Fay, Annabelle, and Dahlia explaining Ms. Rapscott’s Essential Introductory Program—which is a unique curriculum, designed solely for the daughters of the busiest parents on Earth called: How to Find Your Way.
It’s not until the girls arrive at the school inside the lighthouse perched on the edge of the world where they are told that in order to Find Your Way, you must first Get Lost on Purpose. But never fear! Ms. Rapscott will be teaching the course along with her two assistants, seasoned explorer corgis, Lewis and Clark.

- Starred review Booklist: “Almost best of all are Primavera’s fanciful pencil illustrations, featuring two of the most delightful (if silent) of the book’s characters, Lewis and Clark, turtlenecked corgis that efficiently manage the girls and their hair-raising adventures.
