(4) YA After her school's queen bee moves in next door, Sam discovers, then steals, the secret to popularity: a magical "Skin." When half the school starts aping her frizzy hair and Lands End fashion, Sam leaves her old friends in the dust. The book's premise is intriguing, but Sam is such a shallow character that readers may find themselves rooting for her comeuppance.
