A Great
& Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Review by Allie
Personally being a person who
thought that she could only enjoy a vampire novel has found a book to
throw her back to life. This book holds a secret that only you can
reveal through reading it; it is about a group of four girls-Gemma
(recently lost her mother), Felicity(most popular girl at school),
Ann(outcast of everyone), and Pippa(one being force to marry an
old-geezer)-who grow to be a part of a group that they "created"
(you'll understand when you read it). The girls sneak out at night
and go to their hide-away and read from a journal written by Mary that
consists of supernatural happenings such as being able to go to the
realms, a place where all your dreams can come true; that night they went
around the circle and told their most desired want. They believe
they can go to the realms as well, however Gemma was warned by mysterious,
but gorgeous, Kartik that it would be very dangerous, but yet they go.
Soon enough the girls are uncovering mysteries from before their time
about Mary and Sarah, the ones from the journal who "died"
in the school fire. Not only that but they can't seem to get enough
of the realms until one of their beloved friends loses her life in the
realms. What will they do? Read the book and its sequel to find
out!!!!!
