Synopsis

Jenny Humphrey has attended some crazy parties at Waverly Academy, but none as hot as the bash at Miller farm, where the barn went up in flames. Literally. So when Dean Marymount announces that someone is going to be expelled, it's every owl for him- and herself.

Tensions are rising, rumors are flying, and pretty soon everyone is a suspect. Jenny is worried about her adorable, shaggy-haired new crush, Julian, whose lighter was found at the scene of the crime. Callie is afraid she and Easy will both get kicked out, because they were in the barn-together-when it caught fire. And Tinsley knows she'll take the heat for organizing the wild party in the first place.Luckily she's come up with a way to keep from getting in trouble: by blaming Jenny. Of course.

After all, Waverly's girls always fight fire with fire. But watch out, ladies-in a battle like this, someone's bound to get burned.

For readers who want more "New York Times Bestselling Series" fluff, here is title five of the tabloid-quality "Gossip Girls." Waverly Academy is the by-now familiar setting for recreational sex, deception, lying, vengeance, alcohol (including under-age drinking ), blackmail, gutter language (all of the four-letter words with some five-letter words added just for effect), and other adolescent mayhem. In this tale, Tinsley Carmichael is scheming to rid the campus of Jenny Humphrey and to dispose of her victim is not above reminding Dean Marymount of his own nasty little secrets. Easy and Callie are rolling in the hay and losing their virginity while Kara and Brett are looking for privacy to express their lesbian bonds to each other. Floating around the edges of all of these intriguing relationships are not-so-subtle commercials for Ralph Lauren, the Gap, L.L. Bean, Yves St. Laurent, LeTigre, Polo, Costume National, Cartier, Banana Republic, BMW, just to mention a few brands, dropped in at the oddest places. This title is part of the "Gossip Girls" series.
