Titles

There is one respect where I think Antonia Forest is poor (and maybe this even contributed to the relative obscurity of her books): choosing titles. They are mostly bland, dull even (End of Term, Peter's Room) and they don't give any overall identity to the series either. I think the Players titles are OK, and I quite like Ready-Made Family (although again there is nothing to suggest it is a Marlow book). Can anybody suggest better ones?



Here's what I've come up with:
The Marlow Twins at Kingscote
The Marlows and the Traitor (does the job)
The Marlows at Trennels
Christmas Term at Kingscote (the Marlows'Christmas Term at Kingscote?)
?????
The Marlows and the Thuggery
The Marlows and the Ready Made Family
The Marlows' Cricket Term at Kingscote (eek!)
The Marlows' Attic Term at Kingscote
The Marlows and Surfrider

OK, I'm probably worse than AF
