Welcome to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s
Favorites. In the
Wednesday’s Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I
think
deserves a little more attention. I read popular books, but also many
books
that aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all
sorts of
genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is
‘Miss Mabel’s School For Girls’ by Katie Cross, a book I read in July 2015.
The Book:
Letum Wood is a forest of fog and deadfall, home to the quietly
famous Miss Mabel’s School for Girls, a place where young witches learn the art
of magic.
Sixteen-year-old Bianca Monroe has inherited a deadly
curse. Determined to break free before it kills her, she enrolls in the
respected school to confront the cunning witch who cast the curse: Miss Mabel. Bianca finds herself faced with dark magic
she didn’t expect, with lessons more dangerous than she could have ever
imagined. Will Bianca have the courage to save herself from the curse, or will
Miss Mabel’s sinister plan be too powerful?
Miss Mabel’s School for Girls is the first novel in The
Network Series, an exciting new fantasy collection. A gripping tale about the
struggle to survive, it will take you to a new place and time, one you’ll never
want to leave.

Praise for ‘Miss Babel’s School For Girls’:
that will tempt you to read it all in one sitting, staying up past your bedtime
or whatever it takes. The characters are engaging, and the plot clips along
with enough unexpected twists to keep you guessing.
chapters, and uncomplicated prose, this is the perfect YA fantasy, but as with
all YA novels, there’s something there for older readers to enjoy as well.
read this novel. I was expecting something above entertaining, but if I am to
be honest, I was sucked right in. I loved the completely unbalanced and
egotistical head of the school. I loved some of the twists.
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.
