When Ella's dad refuses to let her have cool school shoes or stay up later than 9:30, Ella decides to take things into her own hands.

Being good hasn't got her anywhere, so why not try being bad for a while? It certainly looks a lot more fun and what's a few detentions here and there?

But going bad is a slippery slope and soon things are starting to spiral out of control.

Can Ella get things back on track? Or is she going to end up with egg on her face? A brilliantly funny new story from Catherine Wilkins, author of the much-loved 'My Best friend and Other Enemies' series.

Climbing to the top of the social ladder is hard--falling from it is even harder. Regina Afton used to be a member of the "Fearsome Fivesome," an all-girl clique both feared and revered by the students at Hallowell High... until vicious rumors about her and her best friend's boyfriend start going around. Now Regina's been "frozen out" and her ex-best friends are out for revenge. If Regina was guilty, it would be one thing, but the rumors are far from the terrifying truth and the bullying is getting more intense by the day. She takes solace in the company of Michael Hayden, a misfit with a tragic past who she herself used to bully. Friendship doesn't come easily for these onetime enemies, and as Regina works hard to make amends for her past, she realizes Michael could be "more" than just a friend... if threats from the "Fearsome Foursome" don't break them both first.
