Eleanor "Lora" Jones is a teenage orphan sent into the British countryside during World War I. Lora has always been different, hearing music and voices others don't hear and not understanding what her abilities mean. When she gets to the exclusive Iverson girls' school, she starts to learn about her destiny. Lora is drawn to earthy Jesse and aristocratic Armand for different reasons, though it turns out that both hold keys to parts of her history. Bianca Amato, Elizabeth Sastre, and Rich Orlow provide the narration, which effectively portrays the story's differing points of view.
VERDICT Recommend to fans of YA literature.
