Book Details

At first, Nicole Thompson has some hesitations about going away to Boarding School but she knows she needs to get away from her strict and overbearing mother and needs more structure academically. Nicole struggles with learning difficulties and attends Whitney Academy; an all-girls school in New England. In Home Away From Home the author describes Nicole’s experience of three years at Boarding School; the friends Nicole makes, some lessons that are hard to understand, both personal and academic, and sports that she is involved in. Nicole goes through some hardships, but also learns lessons that she will take with her long after she leaves Whitney Academy.
