Debut author Stephanie Hale has written a fabulously quirky and fun tale of homecoming courts, devilish popularity plots,
and down-and-out fun.
Meet Aspen Brooks. The girl you love to hate; or, possibly, might hate to love. She has it all – popular, hottie boyfriend,
fashionable clothing, a car. (Note to readers: How can you not love/hate a beautiful teen girl with a car??)
Only there’s one small, teeny-tiny problem. The Homecoming crown (fine, tiara, what’s the difference?) is not sitting on
her pretty blonde head. No, instead that glorious moment of uber-popularity went to Angel Ives. Angel. Ives. Obnoxious
cheerleader, vengeful rival. And, oh horror of even greater horrors, the Homecoming King is none other than Rand
Bachrach. Can anyone spell g-e-e-k?
Aspen is horrified, but she’s also in shock. Really, how could she not be Homecoming Queen? This has only been her
dream – her goal! – since she was in kindergarten! What kind of conspiracy is behind setting up a nasty girl like Angel with
a dork like Rand as the rulers of the Homecoming court?
She’s not sure, but she does know that something isn’t right. First of all, a lot of really weird things are happening around
school, and they don’t all have something to do with the Homecoming debacle. And, wonder of wonders, Rand might not
actually be the weirdo dweeb Aspen originally suspected. As Aspen puts on her Nancy Drew detective costume (which is
so last year, by the way) and ropes Rand in as her assistant, the two are determined to find out just what exactly is behind
all the nefarious goings-on at Comfort High.
Ms. Hale has penned a laugh-out-loud, catty winner with REVENGE OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN. Part frou-
frou couture mixed with amateur sleuthing, this book is one guilty pleasure that you won’t mind indulging in.
