Bindy Mackenzie--student extraordinaire and perfectionist--is the heroine in this follow-up novel to Moriarty's FEELING

Bindy is thrown when she is placed in FAD--Friendship and Development class. It doesn't make any sense! Who would rip
away her study period so thoughtlessly? And what could she possibly learn from the other students in her class?
But could Bindy actually be so perfect that someone wants to kill her? And if so, the only people who can figure out who the
perp is in time are the classmates that Bindy underestimated and alienated.
Laugh-out-loud funny, Moriarty doesn't disappoint. Full of her trademark intricate plot twists, quick wit, and told entirely in
transcripts, journal entries, and letters, this novel gives a perfectly honest portrayal of teen life that is appropriate for even
younger readers. Bindy Mackenzie will keep you guessing.
