Can Calliope unlock the secrets of the past without getting tangled up in the present? Frick brings the campus to life in small, daily tidbits and chapters, and while the resolution to one half of the story is less than satisfying, it feels perfectly juxtaposed by the other ending. The characters' race and ethnicity was not stated. VERDICT A solid campus mystery for readers who want the intrigue of a secret society and a death to unravel, but who don't want the gory details. Add especially to collections frequented by a younger high school crowd.—Aryssa Damron
