![]() ![]() The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut.Īutumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart their mothers are still best friends. Scott shows incisive insight into the culture of adolescent girls while delivering suspense and well-developed emotional conflicts that should hold young readers’ interest throughout. The story follows Annisa’s efforts to uphold her individuality while trying to make friends. Additional problems develop in a prank war with a rival school and slumping grades. ![]() Despite their hostility, she makes the squad, but suffers constant attacks from most of her teammates. ![]() Alas, all of them are members of the school’s crack cheerleading squad, Annisa’s particular enthusiasm. She makes quick friends with the school outcast and attracts the attention of a wonderful boy, but inadvertently alienates all of the popular girls. Sophomore Annisa Gobrowski has moved from New Jersey to Florida, and experiences a disastrous first day at Sand Dune High School where every girl in the school is blonde. The excellent writing in this new offering from Scott, who wrote The V Club (2004) as Kate Brian, belies its silly title. ![]()
