What's funny is before this class, I had tried reading this book. I saw it in a bookstore and the cover caught my eye. However, I didn't care for the first chapter and put it down. 
 But I'm so glad I gave it a second chance. It was amazing! Hilarious! I really need some comedic relief in my life rn. It felt a lot like Harry Potter - boarding school, friendship, hidden talents, supernatural (not magical) elements, and an overall arching mystery. Most of the characters are girls and they each have a different quality that makes them suited for the school - super important for young girls to read about! I adored it and I am definitely going to pick up the rest later! =D
