Coal Hill student?[[edit source]]

I'm starting to suspect she isn't. April knew her from violin lessons. I'm not sure anyone else knew her personally. I'm rereading the novel to check. Amorkuz 09:27, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

While I haven't read any more than the Amazon preview myself (yet), the publisher's summary certainly heavily implies it:
Poppy is a quiet girl, right up until she steals a car and drives it through a shop window. [...] Some of the students of Coal Hill School are not themselves."
Of course, the publisher's summary isn't itself a valid source, nor does the author usually have much influence over it.

It's small, but it doesn't make very much sense any other way. Miss Quill is not exactly the type to engage in conversations with the kids about their personal lives. :P
