YA
Spy Goddess series.
In a poorly titled novel that has nothing to do with shopping, juvenile delinquent Rachel finds herself sent to Blackthorn Academy, a very unorthodox boarding school. Sassy and sarcastic Rachel quickly finds herself in the middle of an action-packed if over-the-top mystery, heading up a mission to find the missing headmaster. This new series's best feature is its strong female protagonist.
