The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School
Set in an alternate version of what seems to be the 1940s, the story begins with teen Amy's secret--she floats, mostly at will. By the time she discovers that others at her all-girls school have equally strange talents, it's too late-- menace has arrived in the form of a hooded cult called the Red Flame and a diminutive, insect-loving, teen tyrant named Antoinette Rowley Rayne. Amy loses her two best friends--a staunch British girl named Freckles and an Indian girl named Kali, who learned English from gangster films.
Amy is soon creating the Moth Club to fight the Red Flame and save Kali. But she isn't prepared for the cruel reign of Miss Rayne.
An exquisitely written fantasy with a nearly all-female cast, about superheroes of a sort, and dangerous school cliques gone wrong. For anyone who loved A Series of Unfortunate Events.
