Applegate, Anne, The Last Academy. Pgs. 316. Point,
2013. $17.99. Language: G, Mature Content: G, Violence: PG-13.
After a falling out with her best friend, Camden Fisher gets
a scholarship to go to Lithe Academy, a prep boarding school. Weird things
start happening, however, when one of her friends disappears. None of the
teachers seem to be concerned. One in particular, BarnabyCharon, seems to be
behind it all. Can Camden figure out what is going on before more friends
disappear or worse, her?
The ending is a little predictable, but the plot is intense
and well-developed. The characters seem a little shallow, but are fairly
believable. Readers who like mythology, mystery, and school fiction will enjoy
reading this story. MS, HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services
Librarian, WHI Public Library.
