Waiting on Wednesday...books I can't wait to read hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine




Boys, Girls and Other Hazardous Materials

by Roselind Wiseman

Available January 12, 2010

Looking for a new beginning after a terrible mean girl past, Charlie Healey realizes there’s no escaping high school drama Charlie Healey thinks Harmony Falls is the beginning of a whole new life.

Middle school was brutal. But high school is Charlie’s big chance to start over and stay out of drama, except that on her first day she runs into Will, her ex–best friend, who had moved away. Now a varsity athlete and hotter than Charlie
remembered, Will hangs with the crowd running the school.

But Charlie doesn’t understand their power until an innocent delivery guy falls victim to a near-deadly hazing prank.
Torn between doing what’s right and her secret feelings for Will, Charlie must decide whether to turn in her very best friend or live with the guilt of knowing what he did.

Rosalind Wiseman’s first novel for young adults is a fresh, funny, and juicy read about friendship, betrayal, and how far some will go to be accepted. She is probably best known for her NYT Bestselling book, Queen Bees & Wannabes, the basis for the movie MEAN GIRLS, which she co-wrote with Tina Fey!


“Rosalind Wiseman once again writes with humor, compassion and accuracy about the high school experience. The real-life situations she presents are like watching a train wreck, if that train were made out of text messages, make-out parties, and benzoyl peroxide, and if train wrecks were surprisingly funny, which they are not. You can’t put this book down . . . or it will talk about you while you’re out of the room.”Tina Fey

Umm yeah...it has an endorsement by Tina Fey...what else will it take for you to want to read this book???? I'm thinking this book is going to be hilarious!
