About the book
Carol Goodman’s Blythewood draws comparisons to the magical worlds of Harry Potter and The Diviners, yet maintains its own captivating storyline.
Following a close call with death in the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, seventeen-year-old Avaline Hall is enrolled in Blythewood Academy, a prestigious girls’ boarding school in New York’s Hudson Valley where her late mother once studied. With a desire to uncover the truth behind her mother’s untimely passing and the mysterious disappearances of fellow students, Ava delves into the secrets of Blythewood. However, the school and its inhabitants hold more secrets than she could have imagined, including the enigmatic young man who saved her from the fire. As Ava grapples with her newfound abilities, questions of morality, good versus evil, and the blurred lines between the two become increasingly complex.
