Bookroo's summary

A group of kids, tired of always being second-best, form a club to vent their frustrations. Their harmless pranks on top achievers soon escalate, leading to unforeseen chaos. Can they control the havoc they've unleashed, or will their envy consume them? Discover the thin line between fun and disaster in this gripping tale.

From the publisher

The Shadow Club starts simply enough: the kids who are tired of being second-best get together and, for the first time, talk about how they feel. But soon the members decide to play practical jokes on the first-place winners they envy, and things begin to spin dangerously out of control. “This is a provocative novel . . . The plot is ingeniously simple and the course of events compelling. Brisk enough to snag a popular audience, but forceful in impact, it will leave readers thinking.” (Booklist, starred review)
