    Synopsis

    Madison MacDonald is seriously freaking out
    Madison MacDonald
    16
    Putnam, CT
    Status: Single?
    About Me:
    Everything in my life was working out. I had my three best friends, a brand-new boyfriend, and the lead in the school play. Aside from that history paper I hadn't started, things felt perfect.
    Then I returned from spring break to find my Friendverse profile hacked. Someone clearly out to ruin me had spilled the most damaging secrets - AND posted the worst photos of me ever taken - online.
    Now my boyfriend and I are broken up, half the school hates me, and I'm in deep trouble.
    Goals:
    Get my boyfriend back, figure out who could have done this, and clear my name!
    Also, pass history.

    Gr 9 Up

    MySpace and Facebook have changed the way American teens communicate. Madison MacDonald's Friendverse profile is the first thing she checks in the morning and the last thing she sees at night. That is until her family goes to the Galapagos Islands, where she will have no access to the Internet for two weeks. Upon returning, she checks her profile, only to discover that someone has hacked into her page. This person has posted horrible things about her and, worse, secrets about her friends that she promised never to tell a soul. The ramifications have made her a social pariah. The hacker, pretending to be Madison, even broke up with her boyfriend through Friendverse. The plot quickens as she channels Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes to solve the crime. The author peppers clues throughout and keeps readers guessing all the way to the surprising conclusion. Smartly written and totally accessible, this is a wonderfully fun first novel. The author has her finger on the pulse of teens today and is certain to please many of them.-Julianna M. Helt, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA

    April 09, 2009: Katie Finn writes an interesting novel that grabs you and pulls you in the second you start it. It is a great book that has some surprising twists. I liked the fact that you were able to look at the profiles designed for the story in the book. Also, it was something different. Someone getting their profile hacked and having to deal with all the hysteria about it isn't a common topic for literature. However, it was great and I liked it a lot! Top 8 has you on your toes and at the edge of your seat at every part. Top 8...more like Top 1!!!!
