"Alongside Watership Down, this taught me that I had to leave home. (Children who bounced balls in synchronous time were not free. Rabbits who had all they wanted to eat were being bred for slaughter.) Read, age 11 while at Carlekemp Priory Boarding School, North Berwick, Scotland."

"I love the way Curtis Sittenfeld writes. It feels personal and immediate. And in this, her debut novel, she tells the story of a lower middle class Lee Fiora navigating her way through an elite boarding school. Sittenfeld’s observations are razor-edged, dark, and brazenly funny."

A good typical early 90's action film. A group of terrorists take hostages at the local boarding school where the kids have some very important parents. It has some good action scenes and a well assembled cast. If you missed this before it's well worth a watch.

Beastars, Volume 1 was interesting. I liked it, but am not sure how the story will progress. It's a manga about animal students in a boarding school, and what happens when a tragedy strikes. The animal students are divided into herbivores and carnivores, so there are immediate issues at stake.

The second book in the Keatyn Chronicles is just as good as the first. Keatyn tries to continue with her life and adjust now she is at boarding school.

The continuation of the writing style as a diary really helps you to become invested in Keatyn’s daily life and struggles.

Definitely recommend this series if you enjoy YA romances.
