Wuthering High A Bard Academy Novel The Bard Academy Cara Lockwood Books Reviews

After Miranda Tate wrecks her father's BMW and maxes out her stepmother's credit card, she is sent to Bard Academy, a boarding school on Shipwreck Island, Maine. With its Gothic setting, Bard Academy could be straight out of one of the classic novels to which Cara Lockwood is indebted Wuthering Heights, Dracula, and Frankenstein.

Lockwood's villains are characters from these and other novels, but the main antagonist in Wuthering High is the ghost of a famous nineteenth-century author. Indeed, the school is run by the ghosts of writers who died before their time--Charlotte Bronte, Virginia Woolf, and Ernest Hemingway, to name a few. And the antagonist seeks to bring her book to life, even if it means destroying the world.

But Miranda has other ideas. An average fifteen-year old, Miranda is concerned with fashion and boys, but she's also able to transcend these preoccupations. She doesn't wallow in self pity over her worthless dad, nor does she give in to despair while stuck in what amounts to a prison. She also refuses to compete with other girls even when it means giving up the guy of her dreams.

Miranda is a strong, likeable character, brushing the dust off every time she goes down (which is quite often). She's a much-needed hero for girls stuck on the likes of Paris Hilton.

The book is heavy on pop culture references and stereotypes, although Lockwood will have more chances to add some dimension to Miranda's rather flat sidekicks. (Wuthering High is the first of a series.) It's the literary references, however, that are the biggest disappointment. With the exception of Heathcliff, Lockwood's villains have none of the complexity of their original forms, and the dead writers do not fully reflect the realities of their lives. Still, the bookhas a fast pace and an interesting plot. And what bibliophile can resist the idea of a meek writer coming back to destroy the world?

Overall, though, it's Miranda who will satisfy readers, for she's far more than her namesake from The Tempest.

Armchair Interviews says Interesting approach that mixes modern-day writing with the work of literary geniuses.
This book was a very good read. The wording is very easy and makes this a good book for teens. It is nothing like Wuthering Heights and Heathcliff is much gentler in this book.
there was ... a lot going on in this book, as an early 2000’s era YA I give it some wiggle room but there was just so much bad to help out weigh the decent
A book meant for tweens . It's really boring and uneventful. It bored me couldn't finish reading it. Easy to put the book down and forget
Even though this book is listed for teens, I wanted to read it because I have enjoyed Cara Lockwood's chick lit books. I think this book easily appeals to an older audience and anyone who likes classic literature. The book really relies on the concept of fiction and real life coming together, and I enjoyed the appearance Charlotte & Emily Bronte, as well as other literary figures. My only complaint Where was Anne Bronte?
