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.
