> Children's Books > Fiction Books

It's 1895, and after the death of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in India to Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future that have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma's reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she's being followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence's most powerful girls -- and their foray into the spiritual world -- lead to?

About the Author: Libba Bray

Libba lived in Texas until she was 26 years old, then I moved to New York City. Her dad was a Presbyterian minister. The first story she ever wrote was about a girl whose family is kidnapped and held hostage by a murderous lot of bank robbers who intend to kill the whole family including the dog until the 12-year-old heroine foils the plot and saves the day.

Libba has an artificial left eye. She lost her real eye in a car accident when she was eighteen. She had to have her entire face rebuilt. It took six years and thirteen surgeries.

Libba got married in Florence, Italy. Herself and her husband were in love but totally broke, so they eloped and got married in Italy, where he was going on a business trip.

Her favorite way to write is to take her laptop and sit in her favorite coffeehouse with a hot cup o' joe while listening to eclectic music mixes chosen randomly by the baristas.
