A Girl Called Justice: Book 1

Product Information

Justices far er forsvarsadvokat og moderen var krimiforfatter, så Justice er vokset op med kriminalitet i baghaven, om man så må sige. Twelve-year-old Justice Jones is a character readers will fall in love with at once, as she is a girl whose mother has recently died, accounting for her placement in the boarding school, but a girl who tries to make the best of her situation. When Justice’s father disappears after the half-holiday at Highbury, anybody and everybody is suspect. Con su ambientación invernal me ha parecido ideal para esta época del año, y el internado en la Inglaterra de los años 30 (si no me equivoco), me ha hecho recordar a cuando leía Santa Clara y Torres de Malory de pequeña, así que ha tenido un alto componente nostálgico para mí.

This book is great for anyone who loves a good tale that includes a matron doing her rounds at night with clumping shoes, a head mistress who is a bit too good to be true and missing teachers.A book that will generate a good deal of speculative talk if it is used as a class reader, and is highly likely to be enjoyed if read privately. No, not agreeing about murder, that is just too much, but I can imagine why this person broke, why this person may have gone to this path. It follows the titular character Justice Jones as she starts at Highbury House boarding school and has to uncover the identity of a murderer when a snow storm cuts the school off from the rest of the world and the body count rises.

She sets about to find out the truth, all the while trying to make new friends and learn the ropes at school.One is from a military background and a take-charge personality, and the other is a much less assertive person whom the boys seem to take advantage of.

My daughter is a huge fan of school books, from Malory Towers to Harry Potter, so the boarding school setting really appealed to her. Griffiths first rose to fame with her debut novel, The Crossing Places, which introduced readers to the character of Dr. The plot is well constructed, the clues not too easy and there is a satisfyingly gathering momentum to the book which makes it a real page-turner. I loved that she involved them, and I had so much fun finding the clues and seeing if I could figure out what had happened.

Justice quickly learns of a mystery, a murder/death, and as the story continues we see that she is still figuring things out and that more things are happening that are just odd/strange. After the tragic death of her mother, justice is sent to boarding school and realises something is suspicious! Justice's roommates are all from different backgrounds and have different personalities that I look forward to learning more about in subsequent books. Because it's neither land nor sea, but something in-between, they saw it as a bridge to the afterlife; neither land nor sea, neither life nor death.
