Product Description
Maggie Leigh just wants to be a normal teenager, but when German bombs tear apart London during World War II, her ultra-religious mother sees the destruction as divine punishment. She sends Maggie to a remote boarding school in coastal Wales, supposedly to keep her safe, but also to keep her in line. The school is creepy, the headmistress is a lunatic, and the students range from spoiled rich girls to speechless trauma victims. But when a tragic accident happens on the beach, Maggie and three friends are forced to flee the school, plunging into the nightmarish world of Europe during wartime. Now every decision Maggie makes is fraught with danger, and living to see another day depends on how quickly she can think and act...and how far she's willing to go.

Shannon (USA: VA) (2010/03/18):
So yeah the beginning of this book sucked. Lots of things happened but the story flowed slowly and the pieces of the story didn't fit together well at all. However once Maggie finally reaches St Garan's things start to pick up and get interesting. Too bad it takes half a book for that to happen. Any way, as the story moves on there is betrayal suspense and action galore. The twist were good and I must say I never saw some of them coming.
Hillary (USA: KY) (2010/11/03):
The book is a lot better than I expected. There are tons of unexpected twists and it is definitely worth the time to read it.
