YA
Based on the screenplay by Tina Fey. This faithful adaptation of the 2004 film recounts how new girl Cady Heron, previously homeschooled in Africa, overthrows Regina George to become North Shore High's queen bee. This novelization--told through multiple character perspectives, text messages, emails, diary entries, etc.--doesn't add to Fey's original plot, but (established and blossoming) fans will be satisfied by storytelling that incorporates all the most-quoted lines.
