This is the fourth book of Bard Academy series. I was not a fan for classic, but after finished this book, I am so tempted to pick up some of the titles, especially A Tale of Two Cities and Wuthering Height! Thus, kudos to author for bringing the classic characters to life in this series!
The story is generally filled with suspense(though its plots were quite predictable) and adventures(after the 1st 100pgs). I personally enjoy banters between Blade and Semir, or so called the goth and nerd couple. I was a little touched by the ending, especially after Miranda knew Headmaster B and the other ghostly teachers destroyed the vault and sacrificed themselves to keep the balance of the world. However, I still love the happy ending!
Will I recommend this book to my friends? Of course I already did. I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars.
Description:
Three years ago, after Chicago girl Miranda Tate wrecked his dad's BMW, and spent a fortune with her mom's credit card, she was expelled(by her own dad) to Bard Academy of the creepy Shipwreck Island. The school was haunted with ghostly faculty and teachers, consists of famous writers from the past century.Underneath the school library, there's a vault with magical classic novels, in which when the passages were read, a portal between 2 dimensions will be created, and the fictional characters will be able to travel into the reality world.
At new school, Miranda has found her true love- Heathcliff, a fictional character from Wuthering Height. After the past 3 years of near death adventures with Heathcliff (and her friends), he has proposed to her, but she was ambivalent about marrying him and setting up house in a cabin on a haunted island. While Miranda was antsy with Heathcliff's proposal, Heathcliff's ex-girl friend mysteriously showed up, and it seems Heathcliff still held a torch for his ex. At the same time, Miranda's dad had an serious heart attack. Both Miranda and her sister were summoned back to Chicago... while their dad's condition improved, strangest thing happened to Bard Academy, the entire school vanished, *poof !!-
disappeared......
