Books with author Deirdrie LoVerso

Have you ever planned to do something really sneaky? 'Something that only the bad kid on the block would do? Have you ever been dared...no, double-dared to do something so mischievous, so regretful just to be cool? Are you that kid who is afraid to get in trouble and who would never dream of breaking the rules? Or are you the trickster who tempts your friends to do the unthinkable? Okay, maybe you're the one whose friends think you'd never be caught - um, well, getting caught! You're about to experience both sides of the coin. Put yourself in Jade's shoes (the dare-devil) and in Angel's shoes (the goody-two-shoes who can easily be persuaded to follow the crowd) and you be the judge. Who is the coolest, Jade or Angel? You'll laugh. You'll shed a tear. Then just when the plot thickens and you think you know how the story will end...surprise!
