Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14:MY REVIEW
Debate Club.
Her father's "Bunny Rabbit."
A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school.
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15:
A knockout figure.
A sharp tongue.
A chip on her shoulder.
And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy, word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.
Frankie Laundau-Banks.
No longer the kind of girl to take "no" for an answer.
Especially when "no" means she's excluded from her boyfriend's all-male secret society.
Not when her ex boyfriend shows up in the strangest of places.
Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them.
When she knows Matthew is lying to her.
And when there are so many, many pranks to be done.
Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16:
Possibly a criminal mastermind.
This is the story of how she got that way.
I liked this book, I love how Frankie did things by her own terms and in the end stood up for what she believed in no matter that she lost all her friends and social standing she had aquired. I can see why Frankie did what she did, if given the chance I would do the same thing myself. I hate when males think they are better than females because of their gender. I'm all for equality and females being able to do anything males can do.
Frankie comes back to school her sophmore year a different person than the year before. She has changed physically and is socially different. Within the first week she has grabbed the attention of one of the most popular seniors, Matthew, and soon after they start dating. Frankie already knows about the Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds from her father and his friends stories of their old days at school. She learns Matthew is a member the same secret society as her father was. She is angry because she knows he is lying to her in order to go to the meetings. Frankie comes up with a plan as soon as she realizes the group is nothing more than a bunch of boys drinking, nothing like the glory days of the Basset Hounds. She soon comes up with many pranks that bring glory back but lands her in a mess of trouble.
