The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School
The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School | Kim Newman
11 posts | 9 read | 14 to read
A week after Mother found her sleeping on the ceiling, Amy Thomsett is delivered to her new school, Drearcliff Grange in Somerset. Although it looks like a regular boarding school, Amy learns that Drearcliff girls are special, the daughters of criminal masterminds, outlaw scientists and master magicians. Several of the pupils also have special gifts like Amy's, and when one of the girls in her dormitory is abducted by a mysterious group in black hoods, Amy forms a secret, superpowered society called the Moth Club to rescue their friend. They soon discover that the Hooded Conspiracy runs through the School, and it's up to the Moth Club to get to the heart of it.

It took me awhile to get into this story, but I realized it was a story that needed my attention (winter break). Lots of characters but I‘m looking forward to the second book 📖

I had high hopes but I couldn't get into the storytelling. Drearcliff is a finishing school that caters to young ladies with extraordinary skills. Amy, who can float, weaves through killer bullies, vicious mean girls, and forms her own Scooby Doo-type club to investigate the academy's many secrets. It's Harry Potter meets Miss Peregrine.

This book is bonkers in a fun zany girls school way that involves inter dimensional war and the most bizarre cast of characters you will ever find in fiction. I dare say you will never look at skipping or ants in quite the same way after reading this book. I loved it.

I am in Portland for a conference. The first thing I did with my friends is go to Powell's, of course! 😍❤😍❤😍❤😀😄😀😄😀😄

I wanted to buy all the things. But I just bought this book totally based on the sign! I'll probably read it on the plane back to Iowa City!

lycomayflower Isn't It? I'm a sucker for cute seasonal stuff like this, so it's lucky our groc store's stock of such things usually gets marked down to almost nothing really fast. 7y

I'm in the midst of a cross-country move so right now I need effortless books. The dialogue in this was so contrived and cumbersome, I had to bail. I didn't give it much chance, so maybe I'll try again when I have the energy.

I'm afraid I let myself be too persuaded by the cover but really didn't enjoy this. I listened to it on audiobook and wonder if that added to the irritation a little. If I hear 'Ants in your pants' again!!! Just found it dull and I found myself not concentrating or caring much what happened.
