About the Book
It's time: The new girls are taking the spotlight at Canterwood Crest!
Lauren has moved around enough to have the "new girl" code down:
1. Lay low.
2. But not too low.
3. Don't amubush the in crowd.
But Canterwood isn't just any school. And Lauren is about to face an initiation unlike any she's ever encountered. Bon chance, Lauren--you're going to need it!

Excerpt
Initiation
11:59 p.m.: Days left: 1!
Tomorrow morning (!) I leave home and Briar Creek for Canterwood Crest Academy. I got up to blog because I could not sleep. Usually, I’m up late on Fridays anyway, but not like this. Blogging is better than talking sometimes because I can sit down and let all of my thoughts come out unfiltered on the page. I’ve been blogging all summer—Dad’s suggestion—and now I’m totally addicted to it.
I’m scared about tomorrow. So scared. I’m still second-guessing all of my decisions about everything. I’ll admit it: All of these questions keep rolling around my brain, like:
Am I leaving Briar Creek too soon?
Am I ready for the competitive riding life again?
Are Whisper and I prepared?
Will anyone find out my secret before I’m ready to talk about it or any other part of my past?
That last question is the one keeping me awake. Tonight and every night.
