Fifteen-year-old Angela Fournier is uprooted from her life when her parents divorce. Moving to a lovely coastal town in Texas, Angela, her mother and her younger sister settle into their home in the new city. Angela enrolls in the Honors Program, makes two best friends easily and shines in her academics. Inspired and taught by her mother the importance of education, tolerance, and kindness, Angela is surprised by the vehemence of a group of popular mean girls who have it in for her from the beginning. If that's not enough, the haughty, school principal, Mara Petty, seems to be jealous of Angela and oblivious to the bullying Angela has to endure. But Angela and her two best friends discover something far more sinister in their school than everyday bullying-evidence of corruption from some powerful people may prove to be more than they bargained for. Will Angela and her friends set an injustice right? What price will they pay for doing so, and who is responsible? David Bedford's adolescent characters spring to life with his spot-on dialogue and enormously entertaining storyline. Angela will resonate with teens and sends an important social message about fighting injustice, standing up for one's beliefs, and risking all to reveal the truth.

“Angela grew up in San Antonio, quite happy and content until the day, just under a year before, her father came into her room to talk. Angela knew something was wrong the instant she saw him.”
Angela moves with her mother and little sister to Corpus Christi, Texas when her father leaves her mother. She is enrolled in honors classes and excels in her classes because of the educational work ethics taught by her mother, a librarian. She makes friends easily with like-minded students. But, for some reason, there is a clique who begins to harass her. There are several incidents that make it look like she is the troublemaker and she has to count on her honesty and her mother to prove she has done nothing wrong.
Angela and her friends go to the school board to right the injustices and show the board something that is much more disturbing than the bullying. Will they prove their innocence? Will they prove that there is criminal activity involved in the addition to their school? Read Mr. Bedford’s exciting and interesting book about the adolescents and adults in the school.
