Review
This book is fabulous!!!!! I just love a good kids book filled with humor and a simple story. And this book did not disappoint! (I finished it in an hour or so… And I just bought it today… Don’t judge me!!!)
This book is about Scarlett, a young girl who’s trying to hide from her fathers big money scandal. So when her mom transfers her to an all girl boarding school, she refuses to tell anyone about her dad and tires to fit in. But her designer clothes and romance novels don’t make sense in the math focused, education 1st school. But Scarlett has a bigger mess on her hands. When she has the chance to pen pal to the all boys school, she doesn’t think it could go wrong. But it does… With 4 truths and 1 lie…
This book was adorable!!!!! I loved the story, it was a simple story about being truthful. The romance part of it is very middle school and cute. The whole novel is very clean and one girls 9 and up would love! There is bullying in the book. Mention of kissing. And the main character reads romance novels that might be too old for her, but they are only mentioned by title.
Overall, this is a amazing novel and one I can’t wait to re-read!!!!! (Definitely will be reading more by this author very soon!) Happy Readings! -The Young Llama Reader.

Cons
- Bullying
A tween goes to an all-girls boarding school for a fresh start only to get entangled in a series of dares from a mysterious pen pal in this bestselling middle grade drama—now with a fresh new look!
Scarlett’s got a secret—one so big her mother’s shipping her off to a prestigious all-girls boarding school. There, everyone is into academics and extracurriculars, and nobody knows about what she’s trying to leave behind.
But Scarlett is out of her depth. Her interests (beauty, fashion, and romance novels) seem to put her at a disadvantage here, and her popular, studious roommate Crissa dislikes her immediately. As Scarlett struggles to settle in, she gets assigned a pen pal at the all-boys boarding school for class—and starts receiving mysterious letters assigning ominous tasks with threatening consequences if she messes up.
As Scarlett navigates friendships, academics, her place on the basketball team she was forced into, and the mysterious game she can’t escape, she realizes that maybe an all-girls school isn’t so boring after all.
