Book students read often but that I never got around too. Can see why it was a great favorite with boys. Lots of good action sequences; believable cruelty scenes among the boys; strained, closed relationship with adults. All those with "the end of the world" and an impending war lurking in the background.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
