The girls at St. Joan's Academy are inexplicably falling sick with strange tics and symptoms. As a media maelstrom focuses on the Mystery Illness, Colleen Rowley struggles to graduate valedictorian and complete college applications. This riveting, complex novel transposes the events of The Crucible onto a modern-day setting and weaves a powerful mystery that will keep readers invested until the cryptic ending.
