Overview
At Penford High School, Brittany Taylor is the queen bee. She dates whomever she likes, rules over her inner circle of friends like Genghis Khan, and can ruin anyone's life with a snap of perfectly manicured fingers. Just ask the unfortunate few who have crossed her. For April Bowers, Brittany is the answer to her prayers. April is so unpopular, kids don't know she exists. One lunch spent at Brittany's table, and April is basking in the glow of popularity. But Brittany's friendship comes with a high price tag, and April decides it's not worth the cost. Inspiring and empowering, this is the story of one girl who decides to push back.
