Middle school is difficult for everyone, and the pressure
only gets more intense at the first school dance of the year. Told from seven
perspectives, Malone and company tell the stories of both popular and unpopular
kids as they make plans for revenge and forgiveness, friendship and surprises.
Read seven adventures that come together in one night—and not one of them is
going according to plan.
Not only did the seven authors write fun stories for their
readers, they were also able to weave the separate characters’ experiences
together in a way that the stories were clear and fun to read. I was also happy
to note that the stories were not all completely cheesey and predictable and
that there was an overall message to make the best of your situation. The
ending for each story was satisfying, and I closed the book feeling that it
fulfilled my desire to be entertained.
