Big Mouth
No I did not. I did not, I did not. I did not say those things, and I did not plan those things. Won't It anyone believe me?
Two plainclothes detectives marched right into fifth-period study hall and hauled me out in front of everyone. All because of some dumb clowning at the lunch table, I am suspended from Rocky River High while the police search my locker and my friends treat me like a criminal.
Ugly Girl
All right, Ugly Girl made a mistake. I'd told my mom what I'd heard in the cafeteria, and she'd told Dad. Evidently. I'd thought for sure they would want me to speak up for the truth.
Ugly Girl broke her own rule about staying out of other people's business. Mom says getting involved will ruin my college applications, but I was there when Matt was joking. Now Ugly Girl has to walk into the front office and take on the principal herself.
- Coming of Age: Thrown into suburban hysteria by a single misunderstood joke, Matt discovers how quickly a close-knit school community can turn against one of its own.
- Unlikely Friendship: Bonded by late-night emails and afternoon hikes through the Rocky River Nature Preserve, two fierce misfits discover an unexpected connection that defies high school rumors.
- Identity and Self-Discovery: As captain of the girls' basketball team, Ursula hides her vulnerabilities behind an armor of athletic aggression, until standing up for an innocent classmate forces her to confront who she truly wants to be.
- Also by This Author: Freaky Green Eyes, Two or Three Things I Forgot to Tell You and After the Wreck, I Picked Myself Up, Spread My Wings, and Flew Away.
