Description Concering Books A School for Unusual Girls (Stranje House #1)
Welcome to Stranje House.It’s 1814. Napoleon is exiled on Elba. Europe is in shambles. Britain is at war on four fronts. And Stranje House, a School for Unusual Girls, has become one of Regency England’s dark little secrets. The daughters of the beau monde who don’t fit high society’s constrictive mold are banished to Stranje House to be reformed into marriageable young ladies. Or so their parents think. In truth, Headmistress Emma Stranje, the original unusual girl, has plans for the young ladies—plans that entangle them in the dangerous world of spies, diplomacy, and war.
After accidentally setting her father’s stables on fire while performing a scientific experiment, Miss Georgiana Fitzwilliam is sent to Stranje House. But Georgie has no intention of being turned into a simpering, pudding-headed, marriageable miss. She plans to escape as soon as possible—until she meets Lord Sebastian Wyatt. Thrust together in a desperate mission to invent a new invisible ink for the English war effort, Georgie and Sebastian must find a way to work together without losing their heads—or their hearts…

A School for Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin was a YA historical fiction novel I was curious to read as soon as I heard about it. The idea of a book about a group of girls in a school learning everything they would ever need to be a spy for the good of England? Now that had me intrigued from the start! I was quite happy to find everything I expected to be satisfied in reading the novel.What I was very happy to find out about this novel was that it was historically accurate, as far as my ownI'm not gonna rate this one because even though I'm DNFing it (around 30%), I'm sure it's not a bad book.I only had the feeling it was very teenish and intended for a much younger audience than the usual YA, and therefore not what I wanted to read at the moment.All the mysteries surrounding our MC Georgiana, her presence in this weird school along with the questions, anxieties and dread she has about the situation are handled in a very unsubtle way. And by this, I mean there's very little
Please allow me to re-post just to greet a friend a happy belated birthday.^^To Aditi, Color me surprised! This was a rather amazing read. It was quite baffling because the silliness and hilarity of the story reeled me in. The language of the book was really infectious and I relish the days I spent speaking this way but now I must stop and revert to my boring, normal language. Lol.In my honest opinion, A School for Unusual Girls is a story written to mainly entertain the reader and I completely
3.5 starsIve been eagerly anticipating A School for Unusual Girls ever since I saw that cover and the Meg Cabot blurb. Everything about it screamed Christina-catnip, and the cover did not lie. A School for Unusual Girls was a delight from start to finish. If you like historical fiction about brilliant young ladies and their ships, then this, my friends, is for you.You can count on me to be one hundred percent pro historical fiction about incredibly smart girls training for work as spies.

Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsGeorgiana Fitzwilliam (YES, just like Fitzwilliam Darcy) is an unusual girl.She likes science. *shudders delicately* She also has red hair and freckles in a society that abhors both. But it's her love of experiments that is perceived to be the greater of evils . . . *whispers* Well bred young ladies DO NOT science. And when her father's stable and a quarter of a neighboring orchard burns to ash as a direct result of one of said experiments, her parents have had enough.
