Teen Genius (and Hermit) Carrie Pilby's To-Do List:

1. List 10 things you love (and DO THEM )

2. Join a club (and TALK TO PEOPLE )

3. Go on a date (with someone you actually LIKE )

4. Tell someone you care (your therapist DOESN'T COUNT )

5. Celebrate New Year's (with OTHER PEOPLE )

Seriously? Carrie would rather stay in bed than deal with the immoral, sex-obsessed hypocrites who seem to overrun her hometown, New York City. She's sick of trying to be like everybody else.

Suddenly the world doesn't seem "so" bad. But is prodigy Carrie really going to dumb things down just to fit in?
