Backlist Shelf Control: Akarnae by Lynette Noni


Backlist Shelf Control is a weekly feature hosted by The Reading Faery which is dedicated to sharing backlist books that have been on your TBR for too long. Every Friday, you talk about a backlist book (any book published the previous year or earlier) that you're excited to read and why you want to read it. If you participate, please comment on my post so that I can check out your post!

Akarnae (The Medoran Chronicles #1)
by Lynette Noni
Publication date: February 1, 2015
Publisher: Pantera Press
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy

Synopsis:

With just one step, sixteen-year-old Alexandra Jennings's world changes—literally.
Dreading her first day at a new school, Alex is stunned when she walks through a doorway and finds herself stranded in Medora, a fantasy world full of impossibilities. Desperate to return home, she learns that only a man named Professor Marselle can help her... but he's missing.

While waiting for him to reappear, Alex attends Akarnae Academy, Medora's boarding school for teenagers with extraordinary gifts. She soon starts to enjoy her bizarre new world and the friends who embrace her as one of their own, but strange things are happening at Akarnae, and Alex can't ignore her fear that something unexpected... something sinister... is looming.

An unwilling pawn in a deadly game, Alex's shoulders bear the crushing weight of an entire race's survival. Only she can save the Medorans, but what if doing so prevents her from ever returning home?

Will Alex risk her entire world—and maybe even her life—to save Medora?


Why I want to read it:
I have three words for you: magical boarding school. Seriously. A boarding school for 'teenagers with extraordinary gifts'? Sign me up! I've seen this one around quite a bit lately, so I got curious and checked it out on Goodreads, and, well, let's just say the magical boarding school had me convinced. 

Let's chat! What backlist books have been on your TBR for far too long? Let me know in the comments!
