Four Truths and a Lie - Mix by Lauren Barnholdt Paperback

About the Book

Eighth-grader Scarlett is so boy crazy that her mother ships her off to a prestigious all-girls charter school. Scarlett thinks her life is over, but she soon finds a letter which says it contains four truths and a lie--and Scarlett's reputation depends on figuring out which is which.

Book Synopsis

A tween goes to an all-girls boarding school for a fresh start only to get entangled in a series of dares from a mysterious pen pal in this bestselling middle grade drama--now with a fresh new look!

Scarlett's got a secret--one so big her mother's shipping her off to a prestigious all-girls boarding school. There, everyone is into academics and extracurriculars, and nobody knows about what she's trying to leave behind.

But Scarlett is out of her depth. Her interests (beauty, fashion, and romance novels) seem to put her at a disadvantage here, and her popular, studious roommate Crissa dislikes her immediately. As Scarlett struggles to settle in, she gets assigned a pen pal at the all-boys boarding school for class--and starts receiving mysterious letters assigning ominous tasks with threatening consequences if she messes up.

As Scarlett navigates friendships, academics, her place on the basketball team she was forced into, and the mysterious game she can't escape, she realizes that maybe an all-girls school isn't so boring after all.
