Unhallowed halls

Wilkinson, Lili

Notes
Page Whittaker has never fitted in. Her mother knew she was different when just a baby, and Page figured it out after moving homes and schools over and over. She makes things happen.

After a disastrous event involving her girlfriend Cassidy at her last school, the offer of a scholarship from a remote Scottish Moor boarding school seems the perfect escape. Agathion College is not only far from everything and everyone she knows, it treasures the mind, taking students with high IQ’s and academic ability.

But Agathion College isn’t as expected. English Literature is not celebrated among these dark wood-panelled walls and corridors. Plato, Socrates and other ancient Greek philosophers rule here, along with ancient Greek texts and scholars.

The students aren’t as expected either. At first Page aims to keep herself apart to concentrate on her studies, but it’s not long before she must admit her yearning to fit in. Although a group of students seems to accept her, they keep her at arms length and she knows they have secrets they are unwilling to share.

Page’s tutors are also mysterious, asking her strange questions and not answering why she was offered the scholarship in the first place. Something is happening at Agathion. Something ancient and sacred. But how does Page fit into it all?
