About this item

Fourteen-year-old Beatrix Voght has always felt like an outsider. And no wonder. Unable to remember anything from before her adoption, she is plagued by a series of strange occurrences-her AirPods fail to pair, hands-free faucets don't respond to her movements, her Wi-Fi keeps dropping, and peculiar songs keep playing in her head. Then there's her eye color, which changes daily. . Living on the Upper West Side of New York, Beatrix attends Festermunder Academy, a notorious private school where whispers circulate about students mysteriously disappearing under the watchful glare of the cruel Headmistress Grunnion-Paltine. On her way home from classes one day, Beatrix encounters a duplicate of herself, which vanishes in a burst of light. Soon after that, her adoptive father, who has become obsessed with a secretive project involving a plethora of conspiracy theories, disappears before her very eyes.
