High school can be harsh, but Harewood Technical takes the hierarchy of popularity to a whole new level. No one knows who started it or how long it’s been going on, but sometimes girls at Harewood will get their pictures, with a D written beside them, posted on the mirrors of the student bathrooms. D for Defiled. No one talks to the Defiled. No one notices they exist. Fourteen-year-old Sherman Mack has been at Harewood for three weeks. Sherm is only in grade nine, but he’s a ladies’ man with a thing for “older” women―girls his age aren’t ready for him or his smooth, carefully studied moves. He’s been working on asking out Dini Trioli, an artistic tenth grader. Before he gets his chance, Lester “the Molester” Broadhead, captain of the lacrosse team, scoops her up. That’s bad, but what’s worse is the fate of Lester’s last girlfriend, who was D-listed and forced out of the school in shame. Determined to save Dini’s reputation, Sherm will put everything on the line to stop the mysterious Defilers from claiming another victim. Getting the Girl is a winning blend of the dead-on, deadpan wackiness of Susan Juby’s bestselling Alice series, combined with a solid mystery that explores one of the ugliest parts of high school: ritual shunning. Laugh-out-loud funny, but engaging and sympathetic, this is a book that will make boys and girls alike fans of Sherman Mack.

The Truth Commission

An innovative, side-splitting take on secrets and truth-tellingOpen secrets are the heart of gossip—the obvious things that no one is brave or tactless enough to ask. Except for Normandy Pale and her friends. They are juniors at a high school for artists, and have no fear. They are the Truth Commission. Then, one of their truth targets says to Normandy: “If you want to know about the truth, you might want to look a little closer to home.”This dryly funny, knife-sharp novel, written as “narrative nonfiction” by Normandy herself, features footnotes, illustrations, and a combination mystery/love story that will capture readers from the first page.Praise for Susan Juby:“Comedy rules in Juby's satirical, laugh-out-loud debut about a wacky home-schooled teenager who decides to try public high school…the biggest complaint readers will likely have is the pain in their stomachs from laughing. Hilarious.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review for Alice, I Think“Juby again demonstrates her ability to tell a story that's richly colored all the way to the edges.… Whether kids fancy themselves unlikely stand-up heroes or just wish there was one out there as they enter high school, they'll relish Sherman's endearingly dorky nobility.” —BCCB, starred review for Getting the Girl“Susan Juby is a marvel. Wise, witty, and full of heart, her writing draws you in and won't let you go. And just when you think it can't get any better it does.” —Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author
