Soaring prose and spooky twists make this foodie update on Hansel and Gretel an unforgettable must-read

Eleven-year-old Lorelei is totally impressed by fancy Splendid Academy. Principal Trapp encourages students to run in the hallway! The classrooms feature candy bowls! And even the cafeteria has sit-down service and lavish meals featuring all Lorelei's favorite foods.

But the more time she spends at school, the more suspicious she becomes that something's not right. Why are her classmates growing so chubby? And what's up with the creepy teachers, Ms. Morrigan and Ms. Threnody? It's up to Lorelei and her new friend Andrew to find out just what secret this supposedly splendid school is hiding—and what they discover will chill your bones (if it doesn't first pick them clean)!
