INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Berry, Julie

The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place

(2) 4-6 This airy confection is part murder mystery, part girls'-school story, part dark drawing-room comedy. In 1890 England, seven students--our heroines--attempt to solve the murder of their headmistress and her ne'er-do-well brother while concealing the deaths to remain together at the school. Berry takes her madcap seriously, never breaking character when it comes to the old-timey setting or details. An entertaining, smart, and frothy diversion.
