well i've read
A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY and i simply love the story!! im planning to buy most of her works because i've heard that there are series anyways A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY is about: It's 1895, and after the suicide of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in India to Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future that have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma's reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she's been followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence's most powerful girls -- and their foray into the spiritual world -- lead to? “A delicious, elegant gothic.” —Publishers Weekly “An interesting combination of fantasy, light horror, and historical fiction, with a dash of romance thrown in for good measure.” —School Library Journal ______________________________________________ OMG!!! when i researched it.. there's a movie about it coming out in 2008!! here's the site: http://www.thebookstandard.com/bookstandard/events/teen_book_video/GTB.jsp |

I've enjoyed this series. I think the latest book came out not too long ago. So now there are three of them.
