Viola in reel life / Trigiani, Adriana

When fourteen-year-old Viola is sent from her beloved Brooklyn to boarding school in Indiana for ninth grade, she overcomes her initial reservations as she makes friends with her roommates, goes on a real date, and uses the unsettling ghost she keeps seeing as the subject of a short film--her first.

When Viola begrudgingly attends a boarding school in South Bend, Indiana, she avoids her new world by hiding behind a video camera. She eventually realizes that her new school, her roommates, and the Midwest are not so bad after all and opens herself up to the unique experiences lying before her.
