In 7th grade, I read a book called "Bloomability" by Sharon Creech. She's the author of two other GREAT books, "Walk Two Moons" and "Absolutely Normal Chaos". These books are, of course, about the lives of girls going through their crazy pre-teen years.
The main character, Dinnie, gets sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. It quickly became my favorite book, but what I really became obsessed with was the town of Lugano, Switzerland, where her boarding school was located. I researched it and discovered that her boarding school was a REAL boarding school! I tried my damndest for about a year to get my parents to send me to boarding school, but my mom wouldn't let me because she went to boarding school for five years and hated it. But boy oh boy, do I still want to go there! It's located in the south of Switzerland amidst mountains and lakes!! Take a look:
I will go there someday and relive all of my seventh grade dreams of meeting boys and kissing them on the tram up the mountain and in the boat on the lake and having fun sleepovers with my roommates. I guess I can't really do that, but I'll think about it.
