The Year of Secret Assignments-Moriarty

Mr. Botherit's pen pal project has been assigned and the students at Ashbury are less than excited about having to communicate with a bunch of drug dealers and other criminals from Brookfield High. You see, Ashbury is a private school where most of the parents are rich professional like lawyers and such. Brookfield, on the other hand,.....well, you know. Anyway, this book follows the letters and adventures of three girls and three boys. The girls have been best friends since elementary school and have quite a bit of history together. We find out they are quite the pranksters and are willing to take some risks. They aren't too worried about the consequences because their parents are lawyers. The two of the young men from Brookfield become quite smitten by their pen pals. The third one is a jerk. It is well worth reading the book to find out how the group handles the "jerk".

Because of some of the content I would rate this one more for Mature Audiences.
