Green Mountain Academy

This is a sequel to Red Fox Road (which I have not read) and while this novel passes the test of being easily understandable on its own, I found myself struggling to care about Francie cause she has such an immensely heavy backstory. The pacing is glacial and the story is more character-driven than the premise promised; there's far too much set-up and waiting for things to start happening. I would recommend this to anyone who was really into the first book but I wouldn't expect it to tempt a new reader.

Thank you to Tundra Books who sent me a lovely free copy of the finished book for review (I'm sorry I didn't like it more).
