Being cool won’t kill her, will it?

When Kerry starts tenth grade at a new school she’s a loner at best, until the three coolest girls in school sweep her away in their glamorous and gossipy group. Kerry scrambles to keep up with the drama of her new friends and suddenly feels as if her life has finally begun. She would do anything to be included. When her three new friends are killed in a horrifying car crash, her life seems over as well. But then the texts begin. . . .

There are female writers u......more

Rating: 3 stars. It was just last year that I discovered the author Richard Peck. I found two of his books, 'Amanda Miranda' and 'Three Quarters Dead'.

These were the popular queen-bee girls of the school and everyone wanted to be with them......more
