The swallows

The swallows / Lisa Lutz, read by a full cast, 402 pgs.

Stonebridge Academy is a small New England prep school.  Alex Witt is a new teacher there who had a hard time at her previous teaching job.  This new school seems fine, the kids typical, the head master an old friend of the family.  But are things really as they seem?  A random creative writing assignment turns up some responses that make Witt wonder what is going on.  As she finds out more, she wonders why other teachers have not intervened, instead, one has used oddities at the school as plot for his new book.  The plot turns when an exploited population takes a stand.  This book is narrated by a cast that does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life.
