At Swaziland's Keziah Christian Academy, where the wealth and color of one's father determines one's station, once-popular Adele bonds with poor Lottie over a book and a series of disasters. Swaziland. Adele Joubert is one of the popular girls at Keziah Christian Academy... until Delia dumps her for a new girl with more money. Forced to share a room with Lottie, the school pariah, the two eventually bond over a copy of Jane Eyre. Together they take on bullies and protect each other from the vindictive and prejudiced teachers. Then a boy goes missing on campus and Adele and Lottie must rely on each other to solve the mystery... and maybe learn the true meaning of friendship. -- adapted from jacket
