The Chalet School in Exile by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer (Girls Gone By e-book, $9). I've always loved boarding school stories. Midnight feasts; apple-pie beds; the secret language of prefects, cubicles, and dorms — who could fail to be seduced? However, I could see that the reality of life shut up with your school friends 24/7 might not be quite as rosy, and my fascination with the sharp edge of this fantasy fed into The Lying Game.
