Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth by Sandra Tentler and Brooke Tentler – Review by Ashley Dover

Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth by Sandra Tentler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devlin Wolfertz is an athletic middle schooler that loves to be center stage. Waking up on his thirteenth birthday gives him quite a surprise as he has hair literally everywhere. His parents inform him that they will be taking him to the Southland Academy for Supernatural Youth, so he can learn how to be a proper werewolf.

Devlin arrives thinking he will be the only misfit, but he is mistaken. His roommate is a vampire that doesn’t like blood and isn’t very coordinated. Another new student is a witch that is “glitchy”. Their other friends are shifters: one is a ferret shifter, another a snow owl shifter, and finally, a black tip reef shark shifter.

Shortly after arriving at SASY, the group and other students notice that their things have started disappearing during the night. This misfit group of supernaturals decides to solve the mystery themselves.

This young adult novel by Sandra Tentler and Brooke Tentler is an excellent read for middle school students. The story is very easy to read, and the characters are wonderful. You almost feel as if you are at SASY watching them day by day. A definite must-read for a tween who loves mysteries.
