The Secret of White Stone Gate by Julia Nobel - 304 pages
Black Hollow Lane Book 2
After a summer at home in Connecticut, Emmy returns to England to go back to the boarding school where she almost died last year accompanied by her best friends Jack and Lola. Intrigue with communications from her long lost father continue to embroil Emmy further in the machinations of the evil Order. When Lola is framed for a crime she didn't commit, Emmy knows she must do whatever it takes to find the truth.
Think modern day Nancy Drew meets Harry Potter (just the boarding school, not magic) and you have a feel for the tone of this juvenile series. Its lots of fun with strong characters and a vivid sense of place. I look forward to the next one.
