Book Description Janie Bakersfield only has two goals as she starts the seventh grade: to get on the girls' volleyball team, and to murder her arch-rival since kindergarten. If she can accomplish the latter, Janie knows she'll get the former. But when she leads Samantha Pomeroy to the woods and does the deed — can Janie handle the pressure once grown-ups start asking questions?! Meanwhile, Janie's twin sister, Lindsey, discovers Vassey Heights Junior High's secret girls' club: the Sun Rays. Thanks to the disappearance of Samantha Pomeroy, there happens to be an opening. Can Lindsey make it through unchecked cruelty and scrutiny from her peers in order to get voted in to the Sun Rays, or will she end up disgraced and friendless when all is said and done? Donovan Baker's debut novel is a bizarre satire of juvenile literature, taking traditional teen-angst ideas of peer pressure and maturation to absurd heights. Will Lindsey make it through the hazing into the Sun Rays? Will Janie get away with murder? Find out in Twisting the Truth. |
