quick and fun middle grade read

This was a fun distraction about a youngest daughter sent off to finishing school only to find out it’s not just that but also a spy and assassin school for young ladies. The main character was fun and made friends while getting into trouble and talking herself out of it, a la applying her school learned skills. Good quick read!

Compelling context; I found plot less engaging.

Cute, but a bit aimless. Also, contrary to the chosen cover art, it reads younger -- more reminiscent of Riordan's Kane Chronicles than of a teen series.
