This tense gripping thriller is The Secret History for the young adult set!
When everyone is lying, who can you trust? Allie Sheridan’s world is falling apart. She hates her school. Her brother has run away from home. And she’s just been arrested. Again.
This time her parents have finally had enough. They cut her off from her friends and send her away to a boarding school for problem teenagers. But Cimmeria Academy is no ordinary school. It allows no computers or phones. Its students are an odd mixture of the gifted, the tough and the privileged. And then there’s the secretive Night School, whose activities the other students are forbidden even to watch.
When Allie is attacked one night the school begins to seem like a very dangerous place, Allie must learn who she can trust. And what’s really going on at Cimmeria Academy.

A descriptive writeup which leaves readers interested enough to want to read the book for themselves, to find out “what happens” ‘and perhaps to compare themselves with what has happened in the lives of the readers themselves. Such books I personally find can be interesting enough, almost the type ” ,I want to read that book” and quite possibly will not put it down until I;ve finished reading – gripping enough to completely hold my attention from first page to last.
