I'm a seventh grade girl who loves an intruiging, adventurous story with a hint of romance. My mom got me a copy of Four Truths and a Lie for my birthday last year, and I started reading it that night. I read the whole thing in one sitting and absolutely adored it!

Scarlett Northon is mourning her parents divorce as she is sent to a private girls school by her mother. When she starts exchanging letters with a mysterious pen pal at the boys school across the street through English class, Scarlett is swept up into a whirlwind of finding out which notes are truths and which are lies. Can Scarlett juggle a mean basketball coach, a jealous roommate, her school uniform, algebra, and still keep everyone from finding out what her dad did? A fast-paced, sweet read with a touch of romance teaches the true meaning of friendship and the consequences of lying.

Well, I've looked past this book a few times at Borders. I hadn't really considered reading it until I was itching for a book and loved The Secret Identity of Devon Delaney. So I bought it and began to read it that night. I was immediately captivated by it, and my nose was stuck in the pages all night.

Scarlett Northon was sent to a prestigious boarding school by her mother to escape the pain of her peers. Do to her father's secret, her social life was basically over. Her "BFF," Brianna, who had stuck by her side throughout the whole issue. Or at least that was what Scarlett had though. Her life officially over, her mother shipped her off to Brookline Academy for Girls via her college friend, AKA the headmistress.

When Scarlett arrives, she is welcomed by snooty Crissa Bacon and her friends Tia and Rachel. According to Scarlett, Crissa is supposedly rubbing her face in the fact she doesn't have any friends. Scarlett is determined the change that around. During her first English class, she meets Amber. Blonde hair, homesick, father in the army, romance novel lover, Amber. Scarlett decides to work her magic, and with a flick of her makeup kit, the whole school is begging for her to work their magic on them. With Crissa getting worse every day, banned makeovers, secret English strangers, and the game Four Truths and a Lie, not to mention the stress of her secret, how will Scarlett survive?

Well, this is a 10 year old writing from her mom's account. My mom would probably not read this book. Defiantly, actually. Not even when she was an eighth grader!

So anyways, this book is about a girl named Scarlett who's father did something really bad, and ruined her reputation! (Not cool) So then, she has to move to this private boarding school for incredibly smart girls. I mean, Scarlett IS smart, just not SMART smart. She gets in through her mom's friendship with the headmistress. When she arrives, she is greeted by snotty Crissa who's had a tough year. Soon, Scarlett finds herself thrown into basketball, though she hates sports, or anything not including pink. You see, she's the ultimate-girly-girl. She does makeovers, reads gossip magazines, romance novels etc. Somewhere along the way, she meets her new best friend, Amber! Her father is in the army, but Scarlett won't tell anyone the her dad is Steve Haverhill. So anyway, back to my point. In english class, they get introduced to this thingy called "Stranger writing" where the girls write to the boys. The dude she's writing to wants to play a game with her called "Four truths and a lie" Where he sends Scarlett on all these crazy missions, getting her in trouble. Soon enough though, they meet up. Find out if Scarlett can keep her secret, and glam!

This book was amazing! I loved it! It's definitaly for girls, whether you're a tomboy or a girly-girl. It really made me feel like I was there with all the characters, making it impossible to put it down. One night I was awake reading this until 11:30pm on a schoolnight! With an element of mystery and some adventure, you'll adore this book!
