In The Naturals, teenagers are taken to live together and learn the ways of the FBI. It’s why I love The School For Good and Evil so much.

Cassie does have red hair and, yes, she’s a KAFP, but there’s something different about her. It’s even more of a cliche if the protagonist has red hair, because somehow that makes her more mysterious, or perceptible to fun and magical things happening to her (take Amy from Across The Universe or Amy from Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour or Amy from Doctor Who, for example. So, let’s talk about all the reasons to love The Naturals series, and why it had my heart racing from beginning to end.
