Hailey Harper ranks high on
invisibility. But she has a plan to
change that: a journal belonging to her popular older sister full of
information Hailey will use to reinvent herself at her new high school. Caprice Crane addresses high school issues
from bullying to divorce, to pregnancy and drug addiction, showing that
everyone in attendance is dealing with problems of some sort. Her humorous approach permits the characters
to teach readers without much “preaching.”
Atypically (and early on) Hailey decides that popularity isn’t for her
and creates her own clique, the “Invisibles.” Crane’s on-target observations
about high school will leave teens thinking and talking!
Summary: Hailey thinks she’s found the inside track to popularity and she is
putting her plan to the test in her new school.
