The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

One of my favorite authors, E. Lockhart, has a great new book out, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, and it’s definitely one of her best. Frankie, known to her family as “bunny rabbit,” is a seemingly sweet, innocent, rather nerdy sophomore at Alabaster Prep School. Not your typical criminal mastermind, but Frankie is much smarter and more determined than anyone ever knew. Shortly after she begins dating her crush, Matthew, a popular senior, she realizes he is lying to her about why he cancels dates and where he’s spending his time. She finds out Matthew is a member of a secret society that she is excluded from because she’s a girl. Feeling the forces of new love while resisting her exclusion from the group; Frankie comes up with a clever and diabolical plan. She will show her family, Matthew, and all of Alabaster Prep that she may look sweet and innocent, but she’s not a bunny rabbit!
