Lockhart, E - The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

Page history last edited by Annie 15 years, 6 months ago

Frankie Landau-Banks is tired of being underestimated. She's been considered harmless her whole life, and when she returns to her elite boarding school for her sophomore year, her new transformation into a beauty only makes it worse. But Frankie knows something few others students do: an all-male secret society exists on campus, responsible for some of the most famous pranks in the school's history. Frankie would give anything to be accepted by them, but when that's not an option, she's forced to resort to more drastic actions to prove her worth. By turns a humorous coming-of-age story and a spy/revenge tale as Frankie discovers and explores her own power.

Red Flags:

Vandalism to school property, discussion of and implied teen sex, underage smoking, assorted rule-breaking and rebellion. *SPOILERS* One prank involves turning a school building into a giant breast, and arranging bras on portraits of school founders. The ending is not entirely happily-ever-after.
