FEATURED BOOKS

Review by Hailey Chen, age 14
Wesley Clarke and Stella Greene are both desperate. They both need the coveted valedictorian prize (a full ride scholarship to a school of your choosing) for different reasons, and neither of them are willing to give it up. They’ve been rivals since the day they met in high school, constantly exchanging horrible pranks and insults. It gets even worse when they’re partnered up for a school project, having to bear the other’s presence for three months. Both have everything to lose, and neither is willing to fail. Little do they know, under aliases online, they’ve already become friends. They plan to meet each other in real life at SciCon donning their best cosplays, and await the day they finally get to see each other in-person. How will they take to realizing that the person they’ve been chatting with for months is their worst enemy? As tensions rise at school, with finals and SciCon both approaching, will they still be able to hate each other by the end of the year?
