The War at Ellsmere (2008) SLG

Over 150 pages of a great graphic novel! Jun is the newest scholarship student at the prestigious Ellsmere Girls' Boarding School - but to a lot of the privileged rich girls, "scholarship student" is just code for "charity case." Fortunately, Jun has an ally in the quirky Cassie, who tells her legends of a beautiful creature that lives in the forest outside of the school. Between queen bees and mythical beasts, Jun has quite the school year ahead of her!
