When students start being murdered, Sophie suspects there's a plot surfacing to kill off Prodigium, but when no one believes her (as you might expect), she decides to do something about it and solve the problem on her own. I also found myself a little surprised at how mystery-oriented the book was, but this wasn't a bad thing. Hmm, maybe Hawkins went to Hex Hall herself. I don't know how Hawkins did it, but she captured the spirit of an intelligent, funny, and realistic 16-year-old inside this book. Sophie, the main character, is likable, flawed, and logical: When she develops a small crush on a guy at school, she doesn't fall head over heels for him, but the feelings grow over time in a way that's so natural I found myself reminiscing about my own time as a 16-year-old. This is a strong debut to a series, with realistically developed characters and non-contrived subplots.
Unfortunately, they'll be missing a wonderful read if they do! Show More surprise if readers passed over this book based on the cover copy description.
