This a spooky book about a girl with powers she doesn't understand. As she tries to survive in a "we shall civilize your daughters" kind of school, she makes friends with her enemies and brings them in on her secret. I was always on the edge of my seat with this book, because even if no magic was happening, or she wasn't being chased by a monster, the social conflicts of teenage girls can seem terrifying sometimes. | |
A good read that kept me wondering what happens next. I don't know if there is a sequel, but if there is I will read it. -- Fizzy, age 14 | |
