In this psychological thriller, with its basis in Patagonian myths, Mavi attends the elite Vaccaro School for Girls as an English teacher to escape the people that took her mother. This remote school is cursed by the Zapuche Indians and has been reopened after 60 years. The school only selects 10 privileged young ladies from around the world, and things get interesting when when things start happening that aren’t explained, like the girls falling mysteriously ill, staff members hearing and seeing things, and storms that will not let up …

Well written with a twisted ending that will take the reader completely by surprise. Recommended for grades 9 and up.
