(2) YA After her boyfriend's death, Jam is shipped to a boarding school for "emotionally fragile, highly intelligent" teens. She's placed in a course for which the only materials are Sylvia Plath's poems, The Bell Jar, and a journal to write in. Much of this powerful book straddles the real and the supernatural, but it's ultimately about the otherworldly things the mind is capable of.
