Juliette was happy when her older sister Clare went to The Splendor for a week of pampering.  But ever since Clare returned, things just haven’t been the same. Juliette is determined to enter The Splendor herself and unearth its secrets.  What Juliette doesn’t know is the Henri, the beautiful boy who is her guide for the week, is also there to distract her.  The Splendor not has secrets, but it also wants YOUR secrets!


A must read for students who love old-world glamour with a hint of scandal thrown in. The beauty of The Splendor is nicely set off by its dark underbelly. Shields should write of this type of book.
