The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
by E. Lockhart
Description
Frankie Landau-Banks arrives at her elite boarding school as a quiet, unassuming freshman, but by sophomore year, she's transformed into a sharp-witted force to be reckoned with—complete with a gorgeous senior boyfriend and a growing sense that the world around her is far more complicated than it appears. When she discovers that Matthew and his friends belong to an exclusive all-male secret society that explicitly excludes her, Frankie refuses to accept the limitations placed on her, especially when she suspects her boyfriend is keeping secrets. What begins as a quest for inclusion evolves into something far more ambitious: a series of elaborate pranks and schemes that showcase her brilliant mind and fearless determination. E. Lockhart crafts a witty, intelligent coming-of-age story that explores themes of identity, power, and the lengths a brilliant girl will go to prove herself in a world determined to underestimate her. By age sixteen, Frankie has become something unexpected—possibly a criminal mastermind—in this darkly funny tale of rebellion and self-discovery.
