"If you ever want to hide from the world, live in a small
city, where everyone seems anonymous."
That's the advice of twelve-year-old Ariella Montero, who
lives with her father in Saratoga Springs, New York, in a
house haunted more by secrets than by memories. The
Society of S traces her journey south, to Asheville and
Savannah, and on to Florida, as she learns that everything
she knows about her family is a lie. When she finds her
mother, she learns the truth: Ariella is a fledgling member
of the Society of S. S stands for
Sanguinists: a sect of environmentalists concerned
with ethics and human rights -- although they happen to be
vampires. S also stands for synesthete: a person able to see
words and letters in colors. The letter S is lucky for Sara,
Ariella's mother, who gravitates to cities such as Savannah
and Sarasota. But will it be lucky for Ariella? Susan
Hubbard's novel is an intricate literary mystery that raises
provocative questions about the way we live now. Ariella's
voice will lure you into a world where you'll meet the
others among us: vampires who cope with their special
nature and need for blood in a variety of ways, ranging from
the savage to the mundane to the scientific.
