by Maureen JohnsonSummary: Jane Jarvis attends an all-girl school in Providence, Rhode Island, and when the annual Big-Little (as in sisters) ceremony comes around, she and her best friend Allison are nervous about being chosen as a Big. Allison, who has eaten a very, very, bad cupcake, unfortunately pukes all over herself before she has a chance to be chosen. In what seems at the time like a coincidence, the fashion-forward new girl, Lanalee, adopts Allison as her Big. But Lanalee is no ordinary girl, and when Allison begins to act strangely, Jane must go to extremes to save her friend, who has quite literally sold her soul to the devil in exchange for popularity.
My thoughts: Maureen Johnson is one of my favorite YA authors--she seems like she'd be really fun to hang out with! Her stories are all so different and original, and this is one of her best. I've definitely never read another story like it.
