The Academy
Where things are not always as they seem…
My name is Kris Jameson and I’m a student at the Royal Academy. I’m at the top of all my classes, what they call a “model student.” There’s only one problem—the Academy is an all boys school and I’m a girl.
It started as a prank when I took my brother’s place. But things got complicated when I caught Broward, the school bully, in a compromising position. They got even worse when I was assigned my roommate—the handsome but enigmatic North who saved me several times from the bully’s attacks.
Now the consequences of my deception are coming back to haunt me. The penalty for fraud at this exclusive school is much worse than simple expulsion—I could lose a hand. Worse, so could my beloved brother.
With so much at stake, it’s imperative that I keep my secret safe. And the person I’m closest to, North, is the one I have to be most wary of.
The trouble is, I think I’m falling in love with him…
My Review:
This was such a sweet story! I really liked it!
Kristina and her twin brother, Kristopher, have their fates crossed. Kristina dreams of going to the academy and becoming a navigator, - a job not available to women in her time - while her brother dreams of playing in the orchestra. When their father demands Kristopher follow in the family footsteps and become a fleet officer, Kristina, to appease their father, cuts her hair and takes on her brother's identity at the academy.
She pulls it off beautifully, but she makes powerful enemies on her first day who just won't leave her alone. Good thing her new roommate, Daniel North, comes to her rescue and is her knight in shining armor.
But when her relationship with North deepens and her ability to hide her identity becomes harder and harder, life's no fun at all for Kristina. Not to mention the fact that if she's discovered, her punishment will be a severed hand. Can she make it through the academy, or will North's confusion of what he feels for his delicate roommate complicate things?
The Academy features:
- YA
