Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author CL Stone, listen to Introductions, the first book in The Academy Ghost Bird Series.

With an agoraphobic mother and a barely-there father, Sang abhors the isolation keeping her in the shadows. The only thing Sang craves is a fresh start and to be accepted as ordinary by her peers, because for her being different meant being cast out alone. When her family moves to a new school district, Sang infiltrates a group of boys nearly perfect in every way. Grateful for an influence outside of her parents' negativity, she quickly bonds with the boys, hoping to blend in and learn from them what it means to have a natural relationship with friends. Only the boys have secrets of their own and they'll do anything to keep her safe from the knowledge of the mysterious Academy that they've sworn allegiance to. Bit by bit, Sang discovers that her friends are far from the normalcy she expected. Will her loyalty change when she's forced to remain in the dark, or will she accept that she's traded one house of secrets for another? Meet Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke, and North in a story about differences and loyalty, truth and mystery, friendships, and heart-throbbing intimacy. The Academy, ever vigilant.

Well performed

I love this series and I think Natalie Eaton had done a beautiful job performing them. I've read them through ast least 3 times, and I'm in my second go round listening to them. It takes longer, but I really enjoy getting another perspective on what to emphasize and where, plus the accents and voices just give so much extra depth to the story

LOVED IT!!

I loved this book. I have read this and am rereading it, as well as planning on reading the rest of the series and am loving it. The relationships between both Sang and her mother, and Sang and the boys are completely different but both are good. I am loving it so far and find myself - like with any good book series - caught up in the emotions of the book. I completely and utterly love the differences between the boys and how they each are different and yet, perfect for Sang and what she needs to be more confident. I find myself laughing in this book so many times and am still amazed that it has no kissing in it, and yet it is an amazing story. This is like the insight from someone who is seeing things for the first time and helps you take a second look at it and appreciate it as well. C.L Stone is an amazing author, with amazing ideas and creativity. I give this book full marks, I loved it!
