The Unlikelies by Carrie Firestone
Five teens embark on a summer of vigilante good samaritanism in a novel that's part The Breakfast Club, part The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, and utterly captivating.Rising high school senior Sadie is bracing herself for a long, lonely, and boring summer. But things take an unexpected turn when she steps in to help rescue a baby in distress and a video of her good deed goes viral.
Suddenly internet-famous, Sadie's summer changes for the better when she's introduced to other "hometown heroes." These five very different teens form an unlikely alliance to secretly right local wrongs, but when they try to help a heroin-using friend, they get in over their heads and discover that there might be truth in the saying "no good deed goes unpunished." Can Sadie and her new friends make it through the summer with their friendships--and anonymity--intact?
This rich and thought-provoking novel takes on timely issues and timeless experiences with a winning combination of romance, humor, and wisdom.
Carrie Firestone is the author of the critically acclaimed young adult novels The Loose Ends List, which Kirkus Reviews praised as a moving and vital story about compassion, love, and the decision to live life on your own terms, and The Unlikelies, which Bustle hailed as the summer read that'll remind you how much good there is in the world. Carrie, a former high school teacher in New York City, now lives in Connecticut with her husband, two daughters, and cats. Her debut middle-grade novel is Dress Coded.
