The Book I Chose

The name of my book is Devilish by Maureen Johnson. I checked it out because I liked the cover of the book. I literally judge a book by its cover. The synopsis of the book captured me with only the first little paragraph. A book filled with drama is my kind of reading especially when it has to do with high school because I can relate pretty well. The cover of the book is fairly simple but I’m sure has a lot of meaning. There’s a half view of a girl holding a cupcake with red frosting. Her eyes are shaped in a devilish look with a copper toned glaze and she is smirking in a mischievous way. I’m thinking the book will be about a girl who has a plan to ruin another peer’s high school career by seeking revenge. She will act like an angel to certain people and then act like a complete devil another time. Since the cupcake has red frosting I’m thinking this also just reflects the image of the “devil child”. The genre of the book is realistic fiction/drama. No I have not read any other books by this author, but usually I read books by authors that don’t have anything other novels. Last month for a book report I read The Farther You Run which was also drama filled and pretty decent. I’m also currently reading Notorious an It Girl book which is probably the best drama filled book I’ve read recently.
Basically the book begins introducing each character how their peers would view them. The prologue speaks of how one of the characters wonders if she did the right thing. It sounds like she is planning on a play or something. The setting takes place in Saint Teresa’s Preparatory School of Girls. Here we are introduced to Jane Jarvis and Allison Concord. The descriptions tell exactly what the characters look like. The school, even though full of girls, seems like there are many cliques and plenty of drama. Joan, Jane’s sister looks up to Jane because she didn’t make it into the Preparatory School of Girls. Her writing style is pretty much the usual style, nothing real special just the way she introduced the characters traits.
