A sweeping adventure filled with a hidden island, family secrets, shocking betrayals, amazing music, and girl power, by iconic Spice Girl, songwriter and author Geri Halliwell-Horner.

It's time to find your power.

Suddenly orphaned and alone, Rosie Frost is sent to the mysterious Bloodstone Island--home not only to a school for extraordinary teens, but also a sanctuary for endangered species. There, Rosie confronts a menacing deputy headmaster, a group of mean girls bent on destroying her, and shocking family secrets she wishes had stayed hidden.

When forces start threatening the island, Rosie knows she must enter and win the Falcon Queen Games to save the animals she loves.

But Rosie can't do it alone. She finds that believing in herself, and her friends, is the first step to finding the power she never knew she had.


Zibby Review : Spice Girl Geri Halliwell-Horner takes you on a thrilling journey in her new book. Suddenly orphaned, Rosie Frost is sent to Heverbridge School on mysterious Bloodstone Island, which is like a Jurassic Park but for endangered animals. Queen Elizabeth I built the school over five hundred years ago in honor of her late mother, Anne Boleyn. With her distinctive red hair and intellect, Rosie is a relatable protagonist who faces adversity with resilience and determination.


I love that the author flips the script on the traditional fairy tale of Prince Charming rescuing the princess, providing an unlikely hero in Rosie. The themes of empowerment and believing in oneself resonate throughout the story, making it an inspiring read for readers of all ages. The book leaves readers on a cliffhanger, hinting at the adventures that await Rosie Frost and her friends at Heverbridge School on Bloodstone Island. Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen is a captivating adventure of empowerment and a must-read for young readers seeking an adventure filled with mystery, history, and a message of finding one's strength and purpose. Kudos to Geri Halliwell-Horner for crafting a literary gem that will undoubtedly captivate readers and leave them eagerly awaiting the next installment in this exciting series.

Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie.
