Review by Giggles

A girl named Molly Moon lives at an orphan. Then one day she finds a hypnotism book. When she first starts reading it she starts hypnotizing people. Then she figures out that her only best friend was adopted.

A Great and Terrible Beauty by: Libba Bray


Review by Liz

In the summer of 1895 Gemma Doyle turned sixteen years old. She should be happy, but she isn't. She lives with her family in India and wishes more than anything to move back to England to attend parties and have fun. After a horrible event Gemma does return to England, but instead of attending parties she is sent to a girl's boarding school in England to learn how to become a proper lady.

Life at Spence Academy is hard for Gemma. She doesn't have any friends and she has been having supernatural visions ever since her sixteenth birthday. With help from a handsome, mysterious stranger, Gemma will learn about her visions, her mother's past, and a strange society of women called the Order.

A Great and Terrible Beauty is the first book in a series of three written by Libba Bray. If you liked the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers, I would recommend this series to you.
