The disreputable history of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart. Frankie decides to infiltrate the secret, all-male society of Bassetts at her exclusive prep school. Her boyfriend seems to be the leader, but he’s never admitted it to her. She feels he doesn’t trust her and she wants to prove that she is smarter (better?) than the silly school-girl he makes her out to be. (Michael L. Printz Honor Award - 2009)
