Welcome to Litsy!

�Carol Goodman�s Blythewood is reminiscent of both Harry Potter and The Diviners, but in a way that doesn�t distract from the entertaining story within."*After narrowly escaping death in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, seventeen-year-old Avaline Hall is sent to Blythewood Academy, the elite girls� boarding school in New York�s Hudson Valley that her mother attended years before. Ava hopes to solve the mystery of her mother�s death and its connection to the students who keep disappearing from Blythewood. But the school is not all that it appears . . . and neither is the handsome young man who saved Ava from the fire. What�s the meaning of the extraordinary powers Ava possesses? Who�s good and who�s evil? And who has the right to make that distinction?*review of Blythewood by Forever Young Adult
