Paradise Academy

By Amerita N. Thomas

The life of fifteen-year-old Sai Nagano has been turned upside down by the recent death of his mother, leaving him in the custody of his overbearing stepfather. Adding to his woes, his stepfather plans to send him away to an all-boys military academy with a nasty reputation for its over-the-top disciplinary methods. Not wanting to go to this dreary place, but dreading staying home far more, he accepts his fate and prepares for four long years of misery. When it seems hope is dead and fate has abandoned him, a hilarious and bizarre mix-up takes place. Thanks to a "mistake" with his school registration, he's the first male student of Paradise Academy, a mysterious all-girls school just off the coast of Japan. No one seems to know much about it, and it doesn't appear on any maps. As if being the only male student in a school of thousands isn't difficult enough, massive, horrifying creatures start appearing, seemingly invisible to everyone else. Soon after, students there start developing impossible abilities from communicating with machinery to regeneration. It seems there's no line between fantasy and reality in this place! His sanity wouldn't likely survive without his zany, roommates: Kiara, the goofy, Aussie bombshell; Akane, the tormentor; Elexia the sweet and adorable; Kihime the towering ditz; and the technologically gifted Abby. From arguing with gargantuan centipedes to dodging bus-sized lightning birds, you'd think nothing would surprise him anymore, but think again. Nothing can prepare him for the truth about who, and what, he is...
