Review
"...a convincing and amusing picture of an appeallingly sarcastic protagonist...Cappo tells an absorbing--and sharply funny--story of an adolescent who gains some new friends when she learns to be a little less critical and who, while losing her naive confidence in adults, refreshingly maintains confidence in herself." --Horn Book starred review "teens...will enjoy the great quotes and the witty talk, and they'll be caught up in the Jeopardy!-like tension as well as the mystery of who's cheating and why." --Booklist "...the humor and characterization are well-developed...this enjoyable story will be popular in settings serving talented students." --School Library Journal "Suspense! I'd recommend this book to all teens." --VOYA "...Cappo's first novel is a satisfying read with interesting characters and a moral dilemma..." --Kirkus Reviews "Learning that the people you trust the most can sometimes let you down is tough at any age. But it's especially difficult when two of those people...prove their fallibility simultaneously. So when Bernadette Terrell, one of Michigan's top five high school debaters, realizes that "just because people love you doesn't mean they aren't wrong," she's forced to tackle a moral issue by herself...In the end, Bernadette learns to trust her judgment [and] shift her priorities...But Cappo uses humor, rather than moral precepts, to achieve this goal. And Bernadette's change of heart does not come at the expense of her strong-minded spirit... --Teacher Magazine, "Recommended" review "This is an excellent, tautly written novel...definitely an author to watch out for!"
