Knowledge Is Power

A new student at an elite boarding school suspects all is not as it seems in this first book in the suspenseful middle grade Elite Academy series about questioning power, trusting yourself, and standing tall no matter who tries to drag you down.

After twelve years scaring off her tutors by asking relentless questions and having zero patience for their lack of answers, Ivy Ross is headed to Swellings School for Specialties, a boarding school where the very rich and famous have sent their children for generations. Maybe its storied halls will be where she finally finds a real challenge.

But when Daniella le Donne, queen bee of the Year 2s, pulls Ivy aside one night to induct her into a secret society, Ivy is intrigued. It’s painfully obvious that this little group only offers more of the same game of entitlement and privilege Ivy has seen play out in the school halls. But the society does have access the average student doesn’t…and Ivy has started to suspect Swellings has a secret history that is more mysterious than anyone realizes.

As she digs deeper into the school’s past, Ivy has to make sure the information she uncovers doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. After all, knowledge is power, and what matters is how you wield it.
