Flunked

Flunked a fiction book by Jen Calonita. This book is about a kind girl named Gilly who thinks she is a pretty good thief until she gets caught. Gilly lives in a run down boot with 5 little brothers and sisters she has to steal to live! Now Gilly has to move to a reform school, but it’s a pretty nice castle. She’s actually getting the hang of things until she sees the headmaster going into the forbidden forest. Gilly knows there is some pretty strange secrets at this school. Gilly is going to find out why the headmaster went into the forest. At the same time her english teacher, the evil queen is totally against her. How will she handle this new school aside from that she misses her sisters so much! The unexpected plot was Gilly started to like this school, but then she sees the headmaster, or principal go into the forbidden forest she has some doubts. The setting in the beginning of the book was a run down boot which showed that the family was poor but later in about the 3rd paragraph the setting changed to a fancy fairy tale reform school in a castle. -Aleeza
