Enroll in this boarding school thriller about a group of prep school elites who would kill to get into the college of their dreams... literally.

The Plastics meet The Heathers in this murder mystery about ruthless Ivy League ambition." -Kirkus Reviews

Everyone knows the Ivies - the most coveted universities in the United States. Far more important are the Ivies. The Ivies at Claflin Academy, that is. Five girls with the same mission - to get into the Ivy League by any means necessary. I would know. I'm one of them.

We disrupt class ranks, club leaderships, and academic competitions... among other things. We improve our own odds by decreasing the fortunes of others. Because hyper-elite competitive college admissions is serious business. And in some cases, it's deadly.

Alexa Donne delivers a nail-biting and timely thriller about teens who will stop at nothing to get into the college of their dreams. Too bad no one told them murder isn’t an extracurricular.
