Lindsay Eland weaves the five alternate points-of-view together for an accessible and funny school story-and a friendship story-for every reader. When Hill finally steps over the line, the five unlikely schemers band together for a prank like their middle school has never seen. But there's one thing they have in common: they are fed up with Hill Parmar, the school bully-and his dad, their school principal who's always turning a blind eye. (Even so, she has always adored both of her sisters.) She has published one previous novel, Scones and Sensibility. She often had to wait for the bathroom, share a room and a bed with her sister, and sometimes felt forgotten. The five of them couldn't be more different. Lindsay Eland is the middle of three girls. And Dutch is the often-bullied dork who is in tune with everyone's feelings. Ray looks like a big dumb jock, but he secretly wants to be an engineer. Pearl is the prettiest girl in school-and a violin prodigy. Perk is his best friend and the computer genius. Part The Breakfast Club and part The View from Saturday, this funny, heartwarming novel about friendship and standing up for yourself will appeal to fans of Chris Grabenstein and Jennifer L.
