Boys, Girls, and Other Hazardous Materials by Rosalind Wiseman

The bestselling author of Queen Bees and Wannabes! that inspired the movie Mean Girls presents a witty coming-of-age story that delves into the complexities (and tragedies) of adolescence.

"A must-read! Funny as well as painfully familiar. I really wish I'd had this book as an incoming high school freshman."--Mag Cabot, bestselling author of The Princess Diaries

"[A] realistic portrayal of everyday freshman anxieties, romance, and the sometimes foolish culture of male high-school athletes."--Booklist

There's no such thing as a drama-free year.

Charlie Healy is done with drama. After surviving a middle school packed with mean girls, Charlie is ready to leave all that behind. But then, on her very first day of high school, she runs into her former best friend, Will, who moved away years ago. Now he's back, he's HOT, and he's popular--and he takes Charlie back into the danger zone of the popular crowd. But when a hazing prank goes very wrong, Charlie has to decide where her loyalties lie.
