You know the story... or do you?
Cady Heron grew up homeschooled in Africa with scientist parents as her teachers, monkeys as her classmates, and the African plains as her playground. But when her family moves to the suburbs in Illinois, she finds herself a stranger in a strange land: high school.

With no prior research to guide her, Cady´s forced to figure out North Shore High all on her own. Suddenly she finds herself sucked into Girl World as a new member of the social elite dubbed "The Plastics." Cady discovers that, unlike the wild, Girl World doesn´t have any rules-especially when you maybe, possibly, okay definitely have a giant crush on their ruthless leader´s ex-boyfriend. Turns out, life in high school might be even more brutal than a showdown on the Savanna.

In Mean Girls: A novel, Cady´s not the only one with something to say. Hear from Janice, Gretchen, Damian, Aaron-and yes, even Regina-in this fresh retelling, which proves there´s always another side to the story.
