(1) YA Moriarty's comic novel about gal-pals--and pen pals--is set in an Australian high school and focuses on a class pen pal project. The novel--written entirely in letters, diary entries, e-mails, etc.--is fast and funny but not frothy. Moriarty's story is complex, original, and unpredictable enough that it's much more than a guilty-pleasure read. The format, humor, and romance will draw Louise Rennison fans.
