Yearbook superlatives turn deadly in this darkly funny young adult thriller. Yearbook superlatives turn deadly in this darkly funny young adult thriller. The rumor mill has never been kind to Meadowvale High seniors and best friends Rick and Martina, labeling them outcasts (sure), stoners (no comment), and pranksters (okay, this one's fair). But for the most part, they have successfully flown under the radar. That is, until they're targeted in a prank that replaces yearbook superlatives with grisly forecasts of student and faculty deaths. Sure, Rick and Martina were never going to be voted Most Likely to Succeed . . . but Homecoming's Cutest Corpses? Thanks for the cute, no thanks on the corpse. At first, the senior class is annoyed by the prank. But when the body of Mr. Stephens, Most Likely to Sleep with the Fishes, is dredged from the bottom of a lake, suspicions arise that something truly sinister is going on. And as more people turn up dead in the exact ways the yearbook promised, it becomes clear someone's killing off the student body one page at a time. Now Rick and Martina must find the yearbook killer before their vicious superlative comes true. So much for surviving high school without drawing attention. Now Rick and Martina just want to survive. For fans of Holly Jackson, Karen M. McManus, and Danielle Valentine!
