Bookroo's summary
Eve, Sophie, and Nessa are thrust into the spotlight when an online list ranks the prettiest eighth-grade girls. Eve is objectified, Sophie bullied, and Nessa misjudged. Together, they challenge the sexism and objectification that the list represents. As they seek the list's creator, they must confront their own insecurities and the harsh realities of middle school. Can they reclaim their identities and stand up for themselves and each other, or will the list's impact prove too powerful? Their journey is one of friendship, courage, and the fight for self-worth in a world eager to define them.
From the publisher
An incisive, empowering middle grade novel about a trio of unlikely friends who fight back against middle school sexism.
A list appears online, ranking the top fifty prettiest girls in the eighth grade.
Eve Hoffman is disgusted by the grating, anonymous text messages she’s been receiving ever since she was ranked number one.
Sophie Kane is sick of the bullying she’s endured after being knocked down a peg by the list.
And Nessa Flores-Brady is tired of the outside world trying to define who she is.
Reeling from the rampant sexism and objectifcation in their school, the three girls attempt to track down the list’s creator. But are they prepared for what they might find?
