Reviews"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, "This book mixes elements of fantasy with history, mystery, and adventure, but it is, at its core, a coming-of-age story.

SynopsisA 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. *All books contain a QR code with access to original songs by Geri Halliwell-Horner!
