The Book of Spells: A Private Prequel

334 pp. | Simon | December, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-1236-1 $17.99
(3) YA Set in 1915 at the Billings School for Girls, this prequel to the Private series follows Eliza as she and her friends form a coven. At first they try relatively harmless spells, but when a girl dies, Eliza discovers that supernatural actions can have unintended consequences. The setting is evocative and the sense that some characters have secrets adds to the tension.
