The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

by E. Lockhart

Summary: Frankie Landau-Banks, a quirky girl who attends an exclusive boarding school, has stumbled upon a mystery. The boys at this school have a secret society, The Loyal Order of the Bassett Hounds, who have been responsible for pranks and various other mischief around campus for decades. Her father was a Bassett, her boyfriend is a Bassett, and none of them know that she knows the club even exists. When she realizes that she'll never be accepted as a member, simply because she's a girl, she hatches a plot so grand it will change Alabaster Prepratory Academy forever.

My thoughts: I love, love, love this book! It's funny, witty, super-smart, and extremely well-written. Frankie is a respectable heroine for girls everywhere, but this is not just a girl book. Guys will enjoy reading about her crazy pranks, too, and everyone will love watching the Bassetts squirm as Frankie bests them again and again!
