Bellsong Academy for Girls isn't what Katherine "K." Westree had imagined when she was invited to live there with her newly discovered aunt who owns the school. There are only three other girls at the academy, and classes have been suspended. The creepy faculty members are plotting to find and steal a hidden treasure protected by residents of a neighboring town, and they need K.'s help. K. had hoped to escape the life of crime she was forced to lead at her old orphanage. Now she will have to use all her wits and skill if she is to survive. Full-color illustrations.
