Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson

“You have to take things as they are, not how you hear they’re supposed to be.”. Ellingham Academy, a famous private school in Vermont, was founded by Albert Ellingham in the early twentieth century, for thinkers, inventors, and artists. Ellingham loved riddles, gardens, pathways, and wanted to make learning a game. In the 1930s, shortly after the academy opened, disaster struck. Ellingham’s wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only clue: a riddle mailed to Ellingham a week or so prior signed by ‘Truly, Devious’. The crime remains unsolved to this day.

But in the dark winter months after the breakup of his marriage, the then-64-year-old’s spirits were low. He hadn’t gotten out of the house in a while. When he heard about a pop-up dance event just around the corner on Pine Street, he checked it out.

5 College Towns Worth the Trip on a Campus Tour Road Trip

Campus tours have a reputation for being a box to tick: a parking lot, an info session, a guide walking backward across the quad. Planned well, though, they can be one of the best road trips you’ll take as a family. College towns pack great food, walkable downtowns and easy access to the outdoors into a small area. Touring them is also a rare chance to spend a few days with your teen before life gets busy.
