Among the books I read this summer were two books about very unusual boarding schools. In Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty, Gemma Doyle is sent to the Spence Academy in Londona after a tragedy strikes her family in India. While at the Spence Gemma has a hard time making friends until the most powerful girls at the school learn of her power to attract the supernatural. The four girls soon find themselves in a fantasy world where their deepest wishes come true. What starts as a way to avoid the boredom of school soon turns into a danger that threatens all of them Claudia
Gray's book Evernight tells the story of Bianca and her parents who move to Evernight Academy where her parents are hired as teachers. Bianca feels that she doesn't fit in with the other students until she meets handsome, brooding Lucas who warns of danger at the Academy. There is a twist to this story that will throw you off guard. What seems to be an ordinary school turns out to something very frightening. And the characters that you think are "normal" are no what they seem.
