When three popular girls go on trial in Government class for their ruthless bullying of a girl named Ivy, it seems like the misfit will finally get her revenge. Eight first-person narrators give different versions of the event: IvyÑthis victim doesnÕt want revenge, she just wants to be left alone; AnnÑsheÕs the beautiful, but infamously cruel, leader of the bullies; MarcoÑhe may be the only person involved who has any morals, but heÕs also the target of AnnÕs persuasive affections; DariaÑIvyÕs painfully shy lawyer doesnÕt stand a chance; BryceÑthe goofy court reporter knows all the real dirt, even if he doesnÕt care; CameronÑhe sleeps through the proceedings but might wake up just in time to make a difference; WayneÑa true devotee of the legal process, too bad heÕs on the sidelines; and FaithÑas the only witness for the prosecution, it all comes down to her. But where do her loyalties lie?
