Super Six Sunday: Books Set in Schools

SuperSix1 title=

Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. Ok so this isn't a typical "school", but battle school actually seemed pretty sweet, not that I'd want to go myself.

The Magicians, by Lev Grossman.  I want to go to Brakebills.  Sorry Hogwarts, but if I can't have Dumbledore I don't want anything to do with you.

Looking for Alaska, by John Green.  I don't actually want to go to this school, but this was an unexpectedly touching and well written book that made me interested in contemporary teen reads again.

Jellicoe Road, by Melina Marchetta.  I love the intricate battle rules in this story between the boarding school, the military school, and the townies.  We don't actually see much schooling going on, but I'm sure it happened.

Never Let me Go, by Kazu Ishiguro.  Ok, so this is actually a pretty horrifying place, but one of my all-time favorite books.

Harry Potter Series, by J.K. Rowling.  Ok, so I lied before.  I think we all want to go here.
