In The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks , when Frankie finished her first year at a super-prestigious boarding school, she was mousy, flat-chested, and an excellent member of the Debate Team.  When she starts her sophomore year, she’s a bombshell.  Smart, gorgeous, and dating the senior she crushed on all last year. 

 Sounds great, right?  But then she finds out that her perfect boyfriend is part of an all-male secret society and that he’s been lying to her so he won’t have to tell her about it.  What’s more, it’s the same society her dad used to belong to. To top it all off, the secret society’s pranks are really, really dumb.  Frankie decides she can do way better.  She moves in, takes over, and discovers her unparalleled talent for organized crime. 

Frankie’s pranks are inspired, they’re brilliant, and they have a purpose, but what will happen when her boyfriend realizes that she’s the mastermind behind his secret society?  And what does her old boyfriend, from her mousy days, have to do with all of this?  Is Frankie in over her head, or is she just deep enough?

 E. Lockhart, author of The Boyfriend List, Dramarama, and How To Be Bad, has written a book that addresses parental expectations, teen relationships, sexism, and radical art, but you’ll hardly notice because you’ll be so caught up by this Printz Honor-winning story.
