Elizabeth Allen is back at boarding school, determined this time to be “the naughtiest girl there’s ever been.” But when a new boy joins the class—sulky, quiet, and competitive—Elizabeth’s resolve is tested. She tries to keep her temper and avoid trouble, but old habits die hard. As Elizabeth interacts with the new boy and classmates, she faces temptations to behave badly again, struggles with jealousy, and discovers that being “naughty” isn’t as simple—or as fun—as she imagined.
