Ribblestrop, an unconventional English boarding school, has its secrets. When the latest batch of misfit students discovers that someone is performing unorthodox experiments in an underground lab, the motley crew bands together to unearth the truth. Mulligan develops the plot slowly and packs punches at the story's high points; well-constructed scenes combine with realistic dialogue to create a memorable, offbeat story.
