The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks (English)

Despite the main character's transformation from gawky at 14 to a very hot 16, this is not an ordinary teen chick-lit book. It's all about amazing pranks, shrewd observations, and one very cool girl, Frankie Landau-Banks. A student at the elite Alabaster Academy, Frankie finds herself dating a senior, Matthew Livingston, who belongs to a secret society. Frankie craftily worms her way into the group and leads the way to some very excellent mischief. A 2009 Printz Honor Book, as well as a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2008, and a New York Times Notable Children's Book of 2008. minimize
