The teachers at Bard are a bit strange and Miranda begins to suspect that the whole place is haunted. The kids are definitely not the ones she would have chosen to hang out with back home. The teachers closely resemble famous authors who died by their own hands. Things are not all as they first appeared at Bard Academy. Miranda's room seems to be haunted by the ghost of a girl who disappeared from Bard some years back.  Frightening, unexplainable things happen straight out of the classics they are reading; Wuthering Heights, Dracula, and Jane Eyre.  

Things aren't all bad though. Ryan Kent, a boy who went to the same high school as Miranda shows up...he's a dreamboat basketball player, and he's showing lots of attention to Miranda. There is also a strange boy named Heathcliff who also seems interested in, and very protective of Miranda.

This book was not at all what I expected. It's a can't-put-down novel that teens will love. I enjoyed the compelling characters and the suspense and plot twists that kept them searching for answers. Lockwood has definitely found her niche. I can't wait for The Scarlet Letterman, the next Bard Academy novel that comes out in January.
