(4) YA Griffin conveys the intrigues, backstabbing, and maliciousness of a clique of sixth-grade girls from the perspectives of four of the girls at a birthday party where the group's weakest member goes missing. While adults search for the missing girl, the others become embroiled in a power struggle for control. Despite the novel's rushed ending, readers will see something of themselves in the realistically portrayed characters.
