The first person to find him will be granted a wish - either by seeing him open his eyes, or by cutting out his heart.Gansey has it all - family money, a car, time for extracurriculars and friends - but he's always loved the tales of sleeping kings. He thinks he's found one too, or at least the area where one might be: in the town of Henrietta, VA. And the best way to be there is to attend prestigious Aglionby Academy for Boys. Blue is the daughter of the town psychic in Henrietta, Virginia, but is too practical to believe in things like spirits or true love. Her policy is to stay away from Aglionby boys...but it may be that one in particular can change her mind about magic, and maybe even love.     \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Raven Boys\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e*\"It's a tour de force of characterization, and while there is no lack of event or mystery, it is the way Stiefvater's people live in the reader's imagination that makes this such a memorable read.\" -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*\"[A] story very few writers could dream up and only Stiefvater could make so palpably real.
