(2) YA Juby applies her brand of humor to the detective novel. Harewood Tech has a tradition of "defiling" girls with vicious gossip, widespread bullying, and complete shunning. Freshman Sherman Mack takes on this hidden establishment once he fears his crush may become the next victim. The memorable cast includes Sherman's exotic-dancer mother, his mystery-addicted best friend, and his cooking teacher.
