It's Boarding School -- Not Boring School!

With the start of the school year, we thought we would share some teen books set in boarding schools.  Here's a few of our favorites . . . .

Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
A seventeen-year-old orphan is sent to an exclusive northeastern college for women by an anonymous benefactor in exchange for writing him regularly on her progress.

Carry On: The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow by Rainbow Rowell
Simon Snow just wants to relax and savor his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him. His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest, and there are ghosts. And vampires. 

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
After the suspicious death of her mother in 1895, sixteen-year-old Gemma returns to England, after many years in India, to attend a finishing school where she becomes aware of her magical powers and ability to see into the spirit world.
