Edit

Back Cover Summary[]

Kristy's at the center of a big school controversy involving a cool teacher and some not-so-cool enemies. Kristy needs all the help she can get — even from Cary Retlin, her archrival.

Kristy and Cary have been spending a lot of time together, since they're supposed to write each other's life stories for school. But the more Kristy knows about Cary, the less she understands him...until she sneaks a peak at his journal.

Has Kristy gone too far?
