The Academy by Elin Hilderbrand

Product Details

About the Book

It's move-in day at Tiffin Academy, and amid the happy chaos of reunions and unpacked cars, shocking news breaks: America Today has just ranked Tiffin the second-best boarding school in the country — a stunning seventeen-spot jump. The dorms need renovating, the sports teams are perpetually last place, and Tiffin students are better known for socializing than studying, so the ranking raises as many eyebrows as it does celebrations.

Arriving amid the buzz is Charley Hicks, a bookish transfer student filling the spot left by a classmate's death the previous spring, carrying grief over her father's passing and resentment toward her mother's new husband. As the school year unfolds, a new anonymous app called ZipZap begins surfacing scandalous blind items about students and staff alike — from international influencer Davi Banerjee to the school's surprisingly young new history teacher — and no one is safe. Bonds are forged and broken, long-buried secrets are exposed, and the lives of Tiffin's students and staff are changed forever, in a story blending glossy boarding-school drama with real emotional stakes.
