The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks / E. Lockhart / 342 p.

Frankie Landau-Banks has gone in one year from being the slightly geeky little sister of a senior to being an attractive sophomore with a heart-throb boyfriend.  Who knew so much could change over a summer? Certainly not Frankie. She’s always felt that her family underestimates her, so when everyone at school starts treating her with more respect because of her looks and her boyfriend, instead of being happy, Frankie is nonplussed and a little offended. So when she finds out that her boyfriend is a member of a secret society that excludes women, of course she will not rest until she infiltrates it. . .
The humorous tone and mischievous antics that fill this book make it a light an enjoyable read, but the struggles of a young woman who is smart but overlooked because of her sex makes this book more than just high school fluff.
