Callie is part of the elite girls at her school, has a popular boyfriend and seems to have everything going for her. Secretly, she also has a friendship with a new arrival to their school, Amanda. Amanda is different from all of Callie's other friends; she is eccentric, interesting, daring, self-assured, and self aware. She challenges Callie and makes Callie really think about things. Amanda is known for standing up to people, not caring what others think and playing practical jokes. Callie doesn't know that Amanda has any other true friends besides herself until the day that Amanda plays the ultimate practical joke and implicates Callie, Hal (the dork boy who's suddenly grown up but is still an outcast) and Nia (an introverted, isolated goth girl). Callie can't figure out why Amanda would've included Hal and Nia, and she can't ask her because Amanda has disappeared. Can Callie get along with Hal and Nia long enough to figure out where Amanda has gone? Can they discover how she was able to befriend them all with none of them realizing it? Can they figure out what Amanda's secret messages mean? Will they ever see her again? And lastly, can Callie do all of this without her elite friends finding out and snubbing her?
This book plays out like a mystery, and there's more Amanda Project books to come. I enjoyed trying to figure out who Amanda was, and what exactly her motive was. Good book.
