Miss Mabel's School for Girls by Katie Cross

3.0

But of course!

Sixteen year old Bianca's family is cursed. The thing is the curse of three's entails that when she turns seventeen Bianca will die from the curse.

Who placed the curse in the first place? Miss Mabel. The head of the girl's witchcraft school. Bianca plans on being taken as her head student so that she can convince Mabel to lift the curse.

First she must compete against girls that have been at the school longer than she has to win the competition. Once she does she realizes that Mabel is not as nice as she wants people to believe.


This is not a bad little book. The main character never resorts to the typical young adult woes that usually tick me off.
Terror had me in her awful grip. I was nothing more than a big balls of nerves and fear. No amount of confidence or acting calm would take a curse away from a terrified sixteen-year-old in far over her head. I hid behind my own determination and confidence, pretending to be brave, pretending it would change reality, when fate wouldn't allow us to change anything. Would she?
