description: A New York Times Bestseller Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. Lee soon learns that Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who summer on Nantucket and speak in their own shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of - and eventually a participant in - their rituals and mores.
