Welcome to Bard Academy, where a group of supposedly
troubled teens are about to get scared
straight.
When Miranda, a slightly spoiled but
spirited fifteen-year-old from Chicago, smashes up her
father's car and goes to town with her stepmother's credit
cards, she's shipped off to Bard Academy, a boarding school
where she's supposed to learn to behave. Gothic and boring
and strict, it's everything you'd expect of a reform school.
But all is not what it seems at Bard....
For
starters, Miranda's having horrific nightmares and the
nearby woods are eerily impossible to navigate. The
students' lives also start to mirror the classics they're
reading -- tragic novels like Dracula, Wuthering
Heights, and Jane Eyre. So Miranda begins to
suspect that Bard is haunted -- by famous writers who took
their own lives -- and she senses that not all of them are
happy. Complicating things even more is the fact that Ryan
Kent -- a cute, smart, funny basketball player who went to
Miranda's old high school -- landed himself in Bard, too.
And the attention he's showing Miranda is making some of the
other girls white as ghosts. Something ghoulish is
definitely brewing at Bard, and Miranda seems to be at the
center of ominous events, but whether it's typical high
school b.s. or otherworldly danger remains to be
seen.
