Description
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks follows the intriguing transformation of Frankie Landau-Banks from a 14-year-old Debate Club member, affectionately called her father's 'bunny rabbit,' into a confident young woman at a competitive boarding school.
At age 15, Frankie emerges with a knockout figure, a sharp tongue, and a chip on her shoulder. She also gains a gorgeous new senior boyfriend, the supremely goofy and word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.
Frankie is no longer a girl who accepts 'no' for an answer, especially when it excludes her from her boyfriend's all-male secret society. She's determined when her ex-boyfriend appears in strange places, knowing she's smarter than the rest and aware that Matthew is lying to her.
With so many pranks to be orchestrated, Frankie Landau-Banks at age 16 has possibly become a criminal mastermind. This is the story of how she reached that point.
