The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

Frankie attends a well-known boarding school that is famous for its good reputation.  She knows the connections she'll make here will serve her well in her life.  Frankie has always been known as the cute, sweet girl who stays "inside the lines"....but that's all about to change.  After she finds out her boyfriend Matthew is part of the Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds, she yearns to be a part of this all male secret society.  When she realizes she cannot because she is a girl,  she decides to take a different approach and turns her school upside down.  From the lit basset hounds wearing Santa hats showing through the windows to the abduction of the famous Guppy, Frankie orchestrates the boys of the secret society in many hilarious disruptions.  When it's all over though, the outcome isn't quite what Frankie thought it would be.  
This was a great read for me that I enjoyed throughout the entire novel.  The characters and plot kept me interested until the end and I think this is a book many readers will enjoy for years to come.
