The Symphony of Leif

Leif, a 14 year old boy from Hawaii, learns of a 'unique teaching style' at a place called Lamia, a Scientology boarding school, in a remote corner of the Pacific Northwest. Desperate to escape his current school and his domineering father, Leif enrolls. At first blush the Lamia School seems to be a dream come true, but soon Leif discovers darker and more sinister intentions than educating young minds. Stranded far from home, Leif must maneuver through a world of zealous students, totalitarian teachers and brutal punishments, while striving to make friends, find love, and cope with all the trials of adolescents. If Leif survives the insidious Lamia School, what kind of adult will be forged in this contemporary coming-of-age novel?
