Books set in schools
Stories set in schools, colleges and academies, where lessons, rivalries and first friendships drive the plot. Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the University in Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind and the Battle School of Ender's Game are all here. Roald Dahl's Matilda shows school from a child's side, and John Williams's Stoner spends a quiet life inside a university.
