Monster High (book)



From the Amazon.com "Monster High" page:

From Lisi Harrison, the New York Times bestselling author of The Clique and Alphas, comes a new series with a fresh twist on high school, romance, and the "horrors" of trying to fit in.

The monster community has kept a low profile at the local high school, but when two new girls enroll, the town will never be the same. Created just fifteen days ago, Frankie Stein is psyched to trade her father's formaldehyde-smelling basement lab for parties and prom.

But with a student body totally freaked out by rumors of monsters stalking the halls, Frankie learns that high school can be rough for a chic freak like her. She thinks she finds a friend in fellow new student Melody Carver-but can a "normie" be trusted with her big secret?

Melody Carver · New nose

· Serious crush on Jackson, her new geek-chic neighbor

· Vintage tee, black jeans, and pink Converse

Melody and her family left 90210 for the fresh air of Salem, Oregon. After shedding her old camelhump nose and constant asthma attacks, Melody finally gets to be “the pretty one” at Merston High. Too bad she feels like a fraud. . . until she meets Jackson. But is he hiding something too? Could it be related to the totally bizarre rumors about. . . monster sightings?

Frankie Stein

· New. . . well, everything is new

· Dreams about Brett—who has a super-jealous girlfriend

· Scratchy wool pantsuit (but prefers a bebe mini and cashmere tank)

Frankie has lived in Salem all her life—but then again, she’s only been alive for fifteen days. She sets out to conquer high school, boys, and shopping, in that order. Unfortch, people freak over Frankie’s mint-green skin instead of applauding her voltage fashion sense. If she wants to fit in as a “normie” at Merston High, she’s going to have to hide a monster of a secret. Instead, she risks it all for a stolen kiss—a mistake that could cost her everything.

Melody and Frankie try to put the chic in freak. But are the normies at Merston High ready for a makeover? Can a monster survive in a normie world?
