Charlotte (Charlie) Taylor is ready to start life at high school in a new town with a clean slate, away from her middle school “frenemies.” When people from her past start popping up, however, she realizes it’s not going to be as easy as she’d hoped, and every school has its issues. Rosalind Wiseman’s first foray into young adult fiction, while at times a formulaic “problem novel” with resolutions wrapped up just a bit too nice and neat for reality, is a glimpse into the social mine field that is high school – a subject to which most teenagers will be able to relate and featuring characters they will recognize from their own hallways, classrooms and playing fields.
