Ilustration Toward 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…

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 completely4/5Full review coming soon.
3.65 stars! Mini review--dead tired, proper one tomorrow.Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.Hmph for someone who began this book with way too many expectations then disappointment at the beginning then excitment towards the end I surprise myself in realising right at the end of the book that I really want more.I had a lot of issues with this book which I'm going to bring down to pacing for the moment and also maintaining a regency-formal
I received an advance copy of this book for review through Netgalley. Rarely have I ever so deeply regretted requesting a book.The story itself does have some charm. Georgie is a frightfully intelligent (if also clueless) teenager. She gets into scrapes all the time where she tests a theory without properly considering all of the angles (such as when she made her own glider). After having caused a devastating fire with one her experiments, her family drops her off at the Stranje School for
I received an ARC copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review, which you see here.**It's no surprise that this series is being positioned as the successor to Robin LaFevers' His Fair Assassins Trilogy. A number of the essential characteristics are the same -- young women from another time (in this case Napoleonic Era Europe as opposed to medieval Brittania) get involved in politics and international intrigue, with at least a little hint of mysticism. It's got the same sort of modern girl
Georgiana Fitzwilliam's parents are banishing her to Miss Stranje's school for unusual girls all for the little matter of burning her father's stables and half the neighbor's orchard. Georgie resists the banishment, arguing she was only trying to find a formula for invisible ink in hopes of saving the lives of soldiers. It's too late to save her older brother Robbie but if she can prevent more families from experiencing that pain, she will. Unfortunately for Georgie, the fire was the latest in a
16-year-old Georgiana Fitzwilliam is a hopeless case, at least as far as her parents are concerned. Shed far rather study chemistry and test the laws of physics than go to debutante balls and try to catch a husband -- an attitude which does not go over well in 1814 England. Just as Napoleon has been exiled from France, Georgiana is exiled to Stranje House, a school which promises to whip such incorrigible girls into a condition suitable for return to polite society. But of course the school is a
