What is The girl savage about?

Wilhelmina Silver has grown up wild and free on an African farm, where she rides her horse, plays with her monkey and roams the bush with her best friend. When her father dies and the farm is sold, Will is sent to a strict boarding school in England. Surrounded by rules, uniforms and hostile classmates, she feels trapped. But Will refuses to give up her freedom. With courage, determination and a few unexpected allies, she must find a way to survive.
