Thirteen-year-old Emily Poe has been given the opportunity of a lifetime: A chance
to attend the exclusive Audyn School in Manhattan. But to win the scholarship, she
has to pass a test like nothing she’s ever experienced before: A nearly bare room,
a set of strange clues, a locked door. And a mysterious organization - the Leopold

Despite the strange circumstances - in a new house, at a new school - Emily
instantly bonds with fellow scholarship winner Alice Wray.
And then Alice goes missing.
Chronicling every surprising twist and turn of her search through her own private
video diary, Emily sets out to find the truth behind Alice’s disappearance. Soon
she’s drawn deep into the inner circle of the Audyn School’s elite, the Nobility, who
each have secrets of their own. As clues and lies mount, Emily must sort truth from
fiction to solve the Mystery of Alice before it’s too late.

The Call of the Wild remains one of London’s best-loved novels.
On its face, the novel is the story of Buck, a dog stolen from his comfortable
home on a California ranch and shipped to the frozen Yukon to be a trained as
a sled dog.
But this exhilarating tale of a canine hero’s fight for survival is in fact a vivid
depiction of the great gold rush to the Klondike in 1897. Brutal and fierce on
one hand, this iconic adventure story is also a heart-warming tale of the
tenderness and loyalty between humans and animals, brilliantly told from the
latter’s perspective.
