My Review of ‘Miss Mabel’s School for Girls’:
When I first heard about ‘Miss Mabel’s School For Girls’
I was a little skeptical about this book. The title made me think of a book I
read in my teens, and I was afraid that this book would be for a much
younger crowd. But the book description sounded really interesting,
and after I read some reviews on Goodreads, I decided that I
really wanted to give this book a try. I signed up for the blog tour as fast as
I could.

In ‘Miss Mabel’s School For Girls’ we meet Bianca, a sixteen year old who
has waited her whole life to be able to attend Miss Mabel’s school
for Girls. When the day comes that Bianca finally gets the chance to prove
herself, she is nervous but very determined. Nothing will stand in her way! When
Bianca finally does get excepted, she is grateful but also a little scared. Getting
excepted on Miss Mabel’s School For Girls, is not Bianca’s only task, now she
needs to become Miss Mabel’s personal student. If not, her life will be over
soon.
From the moment I started reading this book I was hooked.
I didn’t think I would like this book, but in the end I loved it. The writing
is very easy to follow and definitely makes you want to keep on reading. And I just
didn’t want to stop.

Katie Cross created a magical world I definitely want to
know even more after reading this first book. In this book the characters life
in different networks, and although it’s very different.. it doesn’t seem like
such an unbelievable world. I could totally imagine the world of ‘Miss Mabel’s
School for Girls’ being real.

The characters are so much fun to get to know. Especially
the main character Bianca. There is so much mystery surrounding her, but how
further you get in the book the more gets explained. Bianca is a very strong
character and I admired her strength.

This was definitely a very nice read for me. I enjoyed
everything about it. The book immediately starts interesting, and it stays that
way until the very end. Although I was scared this book would only be for
younger people , due to the title, this book can definitely be read by any age.
This book is definitely a fun, magical read. And I can’t wait to read the next
book in this series.
