Check back soon to meet the new girls! If you sign up for the newsletter, we'll send you the latest Silver Spires news and let you know when the website is updated.
When I got them for a Christmas present I just thought they were any old set of books.
But when I started to read them I was amazed at how good they were, the thing I like about them is that when you're reading them it really takes you into their world and you can instantly imagine everything .

The Silver Spires books are so cool! My favourite characters are Naomi, Jess and Georgie. I have read all the books, and my favourite ones are all of them! :) They are also very inspiring and have given me ideas of books to write when I am older.

I LOVE the Silver Spires books! They're so cool. My favourite character is probably...Jess because she is most like me. I wonder if there's a real school out there just like Silver Spires?
from Amber
It's the best book I have ever read in my whole life and I'm 10 so that's pretty good
I just adore jess I can imagen her art work and with the diamond eyes I would like to have one in my room I'm going to by the rest of the series with my money.

Ann
I absolutely adore the Amethyst House group but I have to admit that I like Jess the best even though I’m more like Katy! I started the first book last month and was hooked from the first pg and now I’ve read all of them. I’m desperate to read about Antonia, Nicole, Sasha, Izzy, Emily and Bryony’s secrets and adventures at Silver Spires. I’ve always dreamed of going to a boarding school and your books make me feel as if I’m there. Which dorm are the new girls you're writing about in?
Antonia, Nicole, Sasha, Izzy, Emily and Bryony are in Emerald House.
Ann
Hey,I have loved reading your books they're FAB! So far I have read First Term and Drama and can not wait until I read the next! Will the stories ever come out as a film?
From
Groovy girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zoe

Gemma xx
I really like your books. They are funny and they really come alive. I've read most of the books and only 2 more to go. Thank you from
Carmen
I loved to read the first one, Katy's book. WHOOPI! It was fantastic! YAAHOO! It sets a good example for being brave.
I hope lot's of people read this book.
Amelia
I can’t wait to read Princess at Silver Spires. WHOOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My fave is Grace's one. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I love these books! I wish the school was real.
P.S I wish Georgie was my ultimate BFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chelsea
I have read them all and Naomi is my favourite character but the book about Grace is my favourite. I will keep them forever. I have recommended them to nearly all my friends and the all think are great! SILVER SPIRES ROCK!!!!
Lottie
I have only read First Term at Silver Spires. It was great. I've had to give it back to the library now but I've got Rivalry at Silver Spires and I can't wait till I get to read it. I know it is going to be fabulous. Someone has sent me Drama at Silver Spires and I also think that's going to be brill.
PS I wish I was Naomi.
Lily xxxxxxx
I love the Silver Spires books. I have them all but haven't read them all yet. I've read Drama and Rilvalry and I'm reading Secrets at the minute. My fave character is Georgie and I think I'm most like her, Mia and Jess. Because I look like Georgie, I love singing like Mia and I love art like Jess. I hope there's going to be more Silver Spires books written and out in shops soon! I love them!
From Bryony x
I suggest Cara, Lydia and Fellisia. If you write books about them I'll definitely buy them!
I love Drama at Silver Spires. It is My Fave Book! It is so cool mostly because it's about Little Women and acting. But Georgie is so funny, crazy and etc! I wish Silver Spires was real, I'd be in that school I'd be just like Katy or Georgie, I can't decide.
From Silver Spires Official Number 1 fan...Bonnie
p.s It is actually Official.
I love the books they are my fave! But is is a real school?
Katrina
Hi Katrina, It's not a real school, but because I know it inside out it feels real to me. I had to do lots of preparation to create a normal boarding school life as a background for my characters so I worked out their timetable scrupulously and decided on all the clubs and how meals time would work, plus the number of girls in each boarding house, in each year, in each class, and which subjects they would be in sets for etc etc etc!!!
Ann x
Pleas write some more. My faivret cairiter is Georgie because she won the Drama contest. And she nerley has the same name as me!
Georgia age 6
I thought the book was really cool and interesting I would totally like to read the whole series
I love the series. I liked the Drama at Silver Spires that was my fav.
luv Lucy
I love ur books. They r sooooo Fantabulnificent (fan-tab-ule-nif-i-cent)!!!!!!!!!!! I got the set about a week and a half ago and I have almost finished the first 4. I think I am a mix between all the girls but because I am quite shy I don't think I have a lot of Georgie in me! I've read that there are another series of Books and I'm sooooo excited. I'm gonna nag mum to get them 4 me. My sister has only just read the 1st 4 chapters of first Term @ Silver Spires when she's had it 4 ages.

From Clodagh
Hi Clodagh, Good to hear from you. And I'm really pleased you're so into the Silver Spires books. I don't actually have a favourite - writing each one was quite an emotional journey as I reckon there's a little of each one of the six girls in me!
Ann x
Love Princess at Silver Spires to bits!
From Lucy
I have only read the first 2 books! but I just want to get my head into the next one! I think they are great, lots fun to read and I love the characters! my favourite character is Katy!!!!
From Jemma xx
Hi Ann, I love your books and I hope you make more of them they are amazing! I've got Secrets at Silver Spires and Drama at Silver Spires. My favourite character is Mia. I think she's great. What's your favourite character from your books?
From Maria
Great that you're enjoying the books. The next batch, which are coming out after summer, feature 6 different girls from another dorm in another house. They've been just as good fun to write as the first 6. I like Mia too. But then I like them all and feel a bit like a mother to all of them too!
Ann
I saw Drama At Silver Spires and Star of Silver Spires on a shelf in the library and picked it up, thinking it might be worth reading. And it sooo was!!! Ann Bryant is one of the BEST authors ever! I would recommend this to you if you like Cathy Cassidy and Jacqueline Wilson. I can't wait to get my hands on the other books in the series!!!
From Samantha The Actress
Hi Ann - I love your books - mostly the Silver Spires books!
From Elizabeth xxx
I love the Silver Spires books and I recommend them to everyone!!It really feels as if you are in the book and I think Ann is an amazing author!!

These books are fab! I'm busy reading Princess @ Silver Spires and then I read them all.

I love these books! The only reason I know about them is because they were half price on a book stall and they looked brilliant! I only have Secrets at Silver Spires and Star of Silver Spires, but I'm addicted to these books already! Thanks Ann Bryant! You're a brilliant author!
I have only read one of the books so far (Secrets at Silver Spires) but I already know that I luv them they are amazin. I am going to read them all! Lol
Get ready to meet Antonia, Nicole, Sasha, Izzy, Emily and Bryony in 6 brand new School Friends books later this year! I'm loving writing them as much as I loved writing the first six!
