The academy is located on a large hill over looking woods where gypsies usually camp out during the warmer seasons. This academy is unusually big for a girls boarding school. There is five floors with nearly fifty rooms on each floor. However, there is one wing of the building that no one is allowed access to because of a fire that broke out during the late 1700's. This book takes place from spring to October. ]]> 2017-03-30 15:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/130855/4f08nwdbh4ht/wish/163735022 130855 https://padlet.com/130855/4f08nwdbh4ht/wish/163737345 Little Old Cabin in the Lane

I picked this song because it demonstrates what people in the 1800's listened to.

I think this song title represents how Gemma feels when her family starts to fall apart.

In my opinion I think this song shows how determined Felicity is to be more powerful than men. I also think that this song could be for Gemma and her romance.
