Cohen, Tish

YA
For sixteen-year-old Sara, a fresh start at privileged Anton High School is an opportunity to erase the past (her adulterous mother) and hide the present (her OCD-afflicted father--also the school janitor). To fit in, Sara deceives her fellow "Ants," but it's not long before her lies begin to unravel. Readers will sympathize with Cohen's realistically flawed protagonist.

In this sequel to The Invisible Rules of Zoë Lama, Zoë returns to school, after having the chicken pox, only to find her status as guidance guru usurped by Devon. Zoë's competitiveness drives her to win back her title, until she discovers that Devon is hiding a secret. The nonstop advice can be grating, but it's offset by Cohen's cast of lively characters.

Zoë, a charismatic seventh grader, is known for imparting great advice and taking charge both at school and at home. Mishaps and misunderstandings undo her status as playground guru, forcing her to learn that she is more than just her reputation. Distinctive characters and quirky illustrations somewhat redeem the frequent platitudes and too-young narrative voice.
