The Queen Of Cool by Cecil Castellucci, is an intriguing story about a teenager named Libby Brin. She is one of the most popular people at school. Her and her friends make up different trends for each day and pretty much the whole school follows. Some of the days include pencil day where you walk around with pencils stuck on you, speak-like-a-poet day (self explanatory), pajama day, and quite a few other interesting things. The sad thing is she realizes that she is bored with all of them. So she decides to sign up for a zoo internship, but she gets paired with the weird girl that none of her friends like. Tina is her name and she is pretty much a dwarf. That's why her friends don't like her is because she is smart and short. After a while at the zoo internship she realizes that her friends aren't really her friends and that she might ditch them for the two biggest nerds on the planet… can she live without being cool? This book is a great coming of age story but it probably for 13 and up
