This was a fast and thrilling read. Once you‘ve begun, you get swept away in the mystery and magic of this story. We start out with an introduction to the School of Wayward Children, then move on to be introduced to the main character, Nancy. As we begin to adjust to this world along with her, we are thrown into a whirlwind as classmates begin to be murdered. Note to the more sensitive folk: this book uses the F word twice and milder swear words.
