(4) YA Tenth-grade tennis scholarship student Lucy is worried she won't fit in at exclusive Van Pelt Academy in Switzerland. But by crossing her new pal Sofia, an undercover gossip reporter, Lucy gains some unlikely friends. The characters are surprisingly multifaceted given their often superficial concerns, but the setup (outsider gains acceptance and charms the most popular boy in school) lacks originality.
