Über diesen Titel
A sweeping adventure filled with a hidden island, family secrets, shocking betrayals, amazing music, and girl power, by iconic Spice Girl, songwriter and author Geri Halliwell-Horner.
It's time to find your power.
Suddenly orphaned and alone, Rosie Frost is sent to the mysterious Bloodstone Island—home not only to a school for extraordinary teens, but also a sanctuary for endangered species. There, Rosie confronts a menacing deputy headmaster, a group of mean kids intent on destroying her, and shocking family secrets. She also discovers that history can come to life in ways she never could have imagined.
When the island itself comes under threat, Rosie knows she must enter and win the Falcon Queen games in a desperate bid to save it.
But Rosie can't do it alone. She finds that believing in herself—and her friends—is the first step to finding the power she never knew she had.

Kritikerstimmen
"This book mixes elements of fantasy with history, mystery, and adventure, but it is, at its core, a coming-of-age story. Rosie blossoms when she starts to let her walls down, and the supporting characters who eventually become her friends round out the story. The school and the island are fantastic settings: readers will be bursting to visit Bloodstone Island, with its rare creatures and old secrets. If an English boarding school on an island full of wild, rare animals isn’t enough to grab readers, Rosie Frost, an empowering new heroine, certainly will."—School Library Journal
"This contemporary, girl-power story has light paranormal and fantastical elements and is fueled by a captivating mystery and adventure. It also features quick pacing, fun and engaging worldbuilding, and a lead character who is easy to root for. Exuberant, action-packed, and warmhearted."—Kirkus Reviews
"[A]n effervescent fantasy series . . . smart twists rooted in real-life history add excitement, and Anne Boleyn’s indomitable spirit literally and figuratively haunts this lively debut, inspiring Rosie and propelling the tale’s feminist, eco-preservationist message."—Publishers Weekly

Bit uneventful, I still enjoyed it and will get the second book too
It was a good first part of the series. Congratulations on your first book! In the beginning i didn’t like the voice acting but after an hour it became really good. I have the speed set on 1.1 cause it was just a bit slow too. I am writing this 1.5 hours before finishing the audiobook, so i still got a bit ahead of me. (I‘ll update this review afterwards, but this is still relevant since it covers my feelings over most of the book and without the end that could alter my perception).
Now to the story. I like her background, but instead of shipping her straight off to another school and her seemingly just moving on instantly, I would have enjoyed a more detailed beginning, maybe seeing her struggle more alone, maybe her running away or getting kidnapped and then being found by the new school etc. The new school is weird for no reason I can discern. Sure there’s a ghost, but it barely has an effect. It all seems a bit stale/uneventful. The mystery you are trying to portray about this school/place is not there, it’s confusion I feel. I would have liked more detective work: here, the main character wanders around, finds out what’s going on and then almost forgets about it. The challenges in the competition are childish, maybe trying to copy parts of Harry Potter Goblet of fire. Not much was said about day to day school life in her new class too. It’s something that’s just a given. You should try the first book of „schooled in magic“ and see what I mean on how you could improve the series (i think schooled in magic is too slow and stretched in length and stupid at points, but the detail with wich he wrote about the school is impressive and should be used to learn from).
Your book doesn’t know what it wants to be, does it want to be a detective story, with friends trying to get the culprit or does it want to be a fantasy book with magic. Right now it is neither… I would like it to be both. Give the school a reason to be weird. This is a harsh review but fair, obviously I didn’t write about all the good parts of your book, that wouldn’t be much use ;) I would like to see those improvements in the second part and a bit more mystery. I don’t know how i feel about Frostie right now, her character wasn’t really developed, hope for that in part 2 too. Thanks
