Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14:
Debate Club.
Her father's "bunny rabbit."
A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school.
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15:
A knockout figure.
A sharp tongue.
A chip on her shoulder.
And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy,
word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.
Frankie Landau-Banks.
No longer the kind of girl to take "no" for an answer.
Especially when "no" means she's excluded from her boyfriend's
all-male secret society.
Not when her ex-boyfriend shows up in the strangest of
places.
Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them.
When she knows Matthew's lying to her.
And when there are so many, many pranks to be done.
Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16:
Possibly a criminal mastermind.
This is the story of how she got that way.
The electrifying sequel to the bestselling, critically acclaimed,
page-turning thriller, The Upper World, soon to be a major movie
starring Academy Award Winner Daniel Kaluuya.
With her mentor, Dr Esso, by her side, Peckham born and bred Rhia is
beginning her first week at the University of Oxford. She’s determined
to have a fresh start and put the Upper World behind her. But fitting
into the hallowed halls of Oxford proves more difficult than she
thought when she struggles to find her people.
That’s until Rhia receives a mysterious invite under her door to a
secret and exclusive society called the Ravens. The Ravens are part of
the 1% and being a member of the cult-like group guarantees students a
life of wealth and success. But is Rhia really willing to sell out to
secure her future?
And, more pressingly, with increasingly strange goings-on happening
around her, could joining the group mean opening Pandora’s box – and
uncovering something even more mind-bending than the Upper World? Rhia
is about to find out . . .
