Publisher's Synopsis
Rue Taylor has been labeled a Bad Girl her entire life. Kicked out of several schools, Rue is running out of options. Bridgton High is her last chance, not only to graduate, but to find out what happened to her brother who disappeared from that very school a year earlier. Disaster, however, seems to follow Rue wherever she goes. It isn't long before her attempts to follow the rules only land her in deeper trouble, and the few relationships she has managed to forge begin to unravel. As Rue uncovers secrets hidden within the walls of Bridgton High, she realizes her brother's disappearance is closely tied to those secrets - and that every choice she makes as she fights for the truth has powerful consequences. In over her head and with a knack for proving everyone right about her bad girl image, Rue struggles to accept that perception isn't always reality - and that uncovering the truth about her brother could easily destroy what's left of her life.
