The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy
By Nikki LoftinPublisher Description
Spooky twists and soaring prose make this foodie update on Hansel and Gretel an unforgettable must-read.
Lorelei is bowled over by Splendid Academy—Principal Trapp encourages the students to run in the hallways, the classrooms are stocked with candy dishes, and the cafeteria serves lavish meals featuring all Lorelei's favorite foods. But the more time she spends at school, the more suspicious she becomes. Why are her classmates growing so chubby? And why do the teachers seem so sinister?
It's up to Lorelei and her new friend Andrew to figure out what secret this supposedly splendid school is hiding. What they discover chills their bones—and might even pick them clean!
Mix one part magic, one part mystery, and just a dash of Grimm, and you've got the recipe for a cozy-creepy read that kids will gobble up like candy.

“I really liked the characters, obviously Lorelei. The writing is good, and I enjoyed the infusion of foreign languages. I would have enjoyed a little more of an ending with some more resolution to the family issues. I think my students will enjoy it, especially the more horrifying elements.”
