When does truth become gossip?

Maggie’s parents have just split up, and she’s moved from New Jersey to New York City with her mom. Desperate to make new friends and to distract herself from troubles at home, she falls in with a group of social butterflies at the ritzy private school she now attends. These girls keep a top-secret record of their classmates’ most intimate details on a wall in one of their apartments. Maggie’s friends insist they are collecting the truth—not gossip—about the lives of today’s teenagers. But she soon learns that certain information in the wrong hands can do irreparable damage.

This is the second novel from Publishers Weekly “Flying Start” author and literacy legacy Lizabeth Zindel.

Swift narration, keen character development and authentic teen banter . . . Teens will find themselves questioning the implications of truth within their families and school communities. - Kirkus Reviews
