The Ivies

Readers of Karen M. McManus and Holly Jackson will want to enroll in this boarding school thriller about a group of prep school elites who would kill to get into the college of their dreams--literally. Everyone knows the Ivies: the most coveted universities in the United States. Far more important are the Ivies. The Ivies at Claflin Academy, that is. Five girls with the same mission: to get into the Ivy League by any means necessary. I would know. I'm one of them. We disrupt class ranks, club leaderships, and academic competitions...among other things. We improve our own odds by decreasing the fortunes of others. Because hyper-elite competitive college admissions is serious business. And in some cases, it's deadly. Alexa Donne delivers a nail-biting and timely thriller about teens who will stop at nothing to get into the college of their dreams. Too bad no one told them murder isn't an extracurricular. A satisfying page-turner, full of surprises and dark humor. --Emily Arsenault, author of All the Pretty Things A timely and compelling examination of the maelstrom created when girls are pitted against their environment--and each other. --Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of All Eyes on Her and The Girls Are All So Nice Here
