California sophomore Wren is forced into boarding school back east when her journalist single mother accepts an assignment abroad. At Hardwick Hall, her mom's mysterious alma mater, Wren struggles to fit in and is shunned by her suitemate, Honor. The book's big revelation about the father Wren has never known feels obvious, but subplots--including Wren's involvement with the school's music scene--add interest.
