The New Neighbours
by Costeloe Diney
Dartmouth Circle is a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of a university town. Its residents take pride in their little community. All gates are painted and front gardens weeded, and nobody ever forgets bin collection day.So when the news breaks that a neighbour has sold his house to students, the residents are aghast. Students are loud, irresponsible and messy. They have all night parties, dabble with illegal substances and revel in questionable hygiene.When Madeleine Richmond and her friends move in, their greeting is less than warm. But a few ruffled feathers soon reveal there's a lot more going on in the Circle than appearances suggest...
