So, I read The School for Dangerous Girls, a couple of days ago. My score is:
3/5
It was good, but I think a few parts could of been better.
-------------------------------------------
Summary:
Angela is sent packing to Hidden Oak after her parents blame her for the unfortunate death of her grandfather. All her life, Angela has been considered unruly and headstrong. Her parents had sent her to live with her grandfather in Texas when he fell ill because they didn't want to deal with her any longer. But when her grandfather dies, she is sent to Hidden Oak. Hidden Oak is a last resort for many girls that are classified as "dangerous."
Upon arrival, Angela, along with the other new students, is sent to the mansion. They are to spend a month there under watchful eyes and locked doors. As the month winds down, some girls are removed and sent elsewhere. Angela and those that remain question the methods of the school and where the other girls have gone.
Finally, Angela is sent off as well. It turns out that to be sent off is a good thing as those girls are the "gold thread," able to be rehabilitated. The girls that remain are considered the "purple thread" girls and are not to be mentioned ever again.
It doesn't take long for Angela to create waves in the main school. She searches for her cousin, Pilar, who had been sent to the school previously. She disagrees with the horrible punishments that the staff dishes out. And she questions what has become of her friends that remained at the mansion.
With the aid of a roommate that should not have been sent to Hidden Oak in the first place, and the son of one of the professors, Angela sets out to discover the truth of the purple thread girls and to let the outside world know what happens behind the doors of Hidden Oak.
---------------------------------------
I liked Angela. She was feisty and good at snarky comments. But, I didn't like some of the choices she made.

Hey There
Hey there, readers! Welcome to BookGossipGirls.blogspot.com! I'm GG (Gossip Girl). Not the actual Gossip Girl, of course, but you don't need to know my name−yet. I read teen books, because, well, I am a teen. So, don't expect me to be reading adult books.
This is a blog where I review books. Mainly vampire books. I hope you take my suggestions and read the ones I like. Well, I'll let you go and read my reviews. Mainly, because I don't really have anything left to say. LOL.
Remember: The Gossip Girl Knows Books.
