Summary, etc.: | Six years ago Calliope Bolan's mother drove the family van into a lake with her three daughters inside. The girls escaped; their mother drowned. The truth behind the "accident" remains a mystery. Transferred to Tipton Academy, the elite boarding school her mother once attended, Calliope is invited to join Haunt and Rail, an exclusive secret society that looms over campus like a legend. She enters the world of the "ghosts," a society fighting for social justice. But some of the Haunt and Rail members define justice differently than others. As Calliope uncovers a possible link between Haunt and Rail and her mother's crash, the society's tactics escalate. - adapted from jacket |

The Bolan girlsâCalliope, Lorelai, and Serafinaâare known in their small town because of a tragic accident: they survived a car crash, and their mother did not. Six years later, Calliope, feeling suffocated by the attention, jumps at the opportunity to attend prestigious Tipton Academy. While trying to solve the mystery of why her mother crashed their van, she's drawn into the Haunt and Rail, a secret society focused on social justice, though she may regret the association more than she realizes. Her mother was also involved in the Haunt and Rail, which offers only more questions about her initiation. When the society's actions cause trouble with a faculty member, Calliope's past and future collide in a terrifying way. Frick (I Killed Zoe Spanos, 2020) has penned another smart thriller peppered with excellent turns of phraseâhere the sisters are "part survival story, part fable, part cautionary tale." This joins the growing ranks of dark academia books, which should increase its demand. Recommended for all libraries. Grades 9-12. Copyright 2022 Booklist Reviews.
