It’s sounds a bit odd to call a book that opens with a double murder hilarious, but this one is. Berry situates herself a little more firmly in history than she has previously done (although significant suspension of disbelief is required). I loved the humor, and the way the girls stuck up for each ...
I loved this book. It was delightful, from beginning to end. I was searching for how to classify it, and in the afterward, Ms. Berry mentioned the term, British Farce. And that's what this is. I am all for Girl Power, and this book is very much about girl power and the bond between girls/women. Not ...
This quaint novel tells a story of a British boarding school in the end of the 19th century. But saying that and only that would be a gross simplification. The story is also a murder mystery and a farce, a historical and a study in character interactions. One day, seven teenage girls, the students o...
Shades of [book:Annie's Adventures|4314911] and [book:The Mysterious Howling|6609748]Ridiculous and fun. A group of boarders at a Victorian finishing school conspire to hide the bodies when their headmistress and her brother drop dead suddenly. It's a romp. They solve the mystery and all the girls w...
This book took a very long time for us to finish. That is not because it was too long or uninteresting, but simply because life got in the way. There was a dance recital, a school play, a concert, and lots of homework; all of which kept getting in the way of our nightly read-aloud. We read other boo...
The Scandalous Ladies themselves from left to right: Dour Elinor, Disgraceful Mary Jane, Pocked Louisa, Smooth (Katherine) Kitty, Dull Martha, Stout Alice, and Dear Roberta I'm so glad Jessica (HDB) read and reviewed this because I would have likely passed it by...when I knew it even existed! But ...
Better than expected but it kind of dragged toward the end. I had the mystery answered a few chapters in so it wasn't much if a shock really. At first, I didn't care for the second person voice, but grew accustomed to it as I read. It actually fit the story rather well. I found Judith a wonderful MC...
Ah, how I do adore when a book seems like it won't be something I'll enjoy and then it snatches me up and proves me wrong! The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place did just that, and I couldn't be more pleased. Very much a Victorian farce, this is the story of seven young girls who suddenly fi...
Arc provided by Mcmillan's Children Publishing Group through Netgalley Release Date: September 23 rd A very important fact that readers should know before starting reading this book: The story is told as a complete farce. I mean..literally speaking! (somehow that little bit, escaped me...
This novel by Julie Berry was certainly interesting. I feel that the message she was giving to the readers was to find your voice, even when you feel as if you don't acquire one. She sent this message across very well through this novel, I really enjoy books like these where the main character trium...
