The Disreputable History

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

Summary: Fifteen-year-old Frankie Landau Banks returns to begin her sophomore year of high school at Alabaster, an exclusive private school in New England, and instantly catches the eye of senior Matthew Livingston, popular boy and member of the secret society The Order of the Basset Hounds.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Comments: I loved this book. Frankie isn't satisfied with being one of the popular crowd when she starts dating Matthew, but instead longs to be a part of his secret society, one that dates back to the early 1950's. She is clever, resourceful and daring as she figures out a way to use the society to carry out elaborate pranks. It would make a great discussion book for the classroom or a book club, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something fun to read.
