Krystyna Kuhn lives near Frankfurt with her husband and her daughter.
In a setup volume chock-full of hints that things are not what they seem, teen sibs Julia and Robert (not, as it turns out, their real names) arrive at Grace College, an isolated school for the gifted in the Canadian Rockies. The author waits until almost the end to reveal why the two have gone into hiding, but from the outset, she threads in suspense-building elements such as prickly feelings and sudden screams, secretive fellow students, oblique references to something malign in the neighborhood, a lake subject to mysterious changes of level and temperature, clues to past tragedy at the school, thefts, pranks—and the drowning of a student who is revealed to have been a brilliant hacker with a taste for blackmail. Though the writing’s genre remains indeterminate and the plot runs to daily encounters with schoolmates, brief exchanges, and atmospheric language rather than actual incidents, readers who enjoy being given more questions than answers may find this intriguing enough to keep reading. Grades 6-9. --John Peters
