All Q, No a: More Tales of a 10th-Grade Social Climber

After a tumultuous first semester, Mimi Schulman thinks she's ready to give social climbing a rest and settle into the groove of New York's wacky Baldwin School. She's eager to start over with her friends, reconnect with her dad, and make headway with Max Roth--the hottest guy in tenth grade.

But when an assignment for the school paper turns scandalous and spirals out of control, Mimi finds little time to enjoy her new and improved existence. Instead, she embarks on a roller coaster ride through the underbelly of the New York art world, from the VIP lounge of a shady nightclub to a private Caribbean island populated with washed-up TV stars and fifteen-second celebrities. As answers keep slipping through her fingers, Mimi begins to wonder if she'll ever manage to pin down the story and get on with her life. And if so, will her life still be there?

All Q, No A is a touching comedy that will appeal to anyone who knows what it's like have more questions than answers. Fans of Mimi Schulman beware! This book will keep you screaming with laughter long after you've turned the last page.
