This is the first adventure of a series that will follow The Rooftop Club. The members have to deal with the bullies of their school. What will happen to the members of the rooftop club?Book excerpt:The Rooftop Club included Sheila, Lulu, Domanique, and myself and no one bothered us for one reason and one reason only; we stuck together like glue. The reason we called ourselves the rooftop club was because every afternoon we would walk home together, do our homework and chores, and then would have our 4:00 meeting on the rooftop of our building. To the outside world, we were just ordinary kids. To all of us we were The Rooftop Club, and this was our safe haven from the world. The place where we didn’t have to be hard, put on a front, and defend ourselves. Here we were anything and anybody that we imagined. We could pretend to be lawyers, doctors, run a restaurant or a rodeo. We could just be kids. We are The Rooftop Club.

Felicia’s world gets flipped upside down, and she has to make some hard fast decisions about her loyalty to her new friends or to herself.Book Excerpt:I didn’t expect what would happen on the first day of school. I thought that someone would smack a book out of my hand. That always happened to the bookworm, star trek watching types like me. Lately, my body started changing. Boys would stare at me and ask for my number. I always had to deal with the cat calling or girls asking me why I was looking at their boyfriend. I had no idea that this boy named Anthony that liked me would stand outside of registration and jot my name down on a list. This wasn’t just any list. It was the list of all lists. He gave me an alias along with fourteen other girls. Then he forwarded the list out to his friends. Then they forwarded the list out to their friends, and so on and so forth. This went on for two hours until everyone in school had the list including some teachers. It was official. I was ranked #15 on what they were calling, The Hot Freshman 15 List. That list made me the target of every hood rat, every popular female upperclassman that felt threatened, and every guy that wanted me to fulfill some bizarre fantasy by being their girl. It would have just been prudent to place a bulls eye on my back or place me in front of a firing squad. I was no longer Felicia Moore that loved writing, star trek nerd that wanted to go to college. I was now known from the first day of school and beyond as:#15 – FeFe – The Hot Librarian (She could read to me anytime.)

First, she called everyone’s mom on the phone. She made me go to bed, but I could still hear her screaming and going off. She must have been talking to Sheila or Lulu’s mom. “Did you see what they did to Domanique? Oh no, that won’t happen to my baby. I am calling the police and going up to that school on Monday morning. I know the rules. Those kids can’t get away with doing that stuff.”I thought my mom was bluffing until I heard the police knock on the door. I heard only a little, but enough to know that they filled out a report and left. I heard the front door close and lock. Then I saw the light go off in the hallway. I swallowed hard thinking about tomorrow. I know my mom was mad that she had to take off work to handle stuff like this, but I knew she was just trying to protect me. I figured that the crew would get us back after my mom came to the school, but I had to do something.
