EL – OPTIONAL
Lorelei and her
brother are going to a new school –The Splendid Academy, which is almost too
good to be true. Lots of the best food, lax rules, lax assignments, and an
amazing playground. But something is wrong, and it takes her new friend Andrew
and the kitchen staff to help her see that something sinister is going on. Something
that requires all the students to be fattened up!
So this was decent
read, but it could have been 100 pages shorter, much of it just repetitive. I
am still really sick of the evil headmasters (orphanage, school, you name it),
and even worse –the creative tortures. There is also a personal tragedy element
that just doesn't come together in a way that makes sense at all. But I think
students will dig the mystery, magic, and even the sweets. If you need
something to fill your shelves, you could do worse than this.
