Frankie is a girl who blossoms into a real smart and imaginative lady in The disreputable History of Frakie Landau-Banks.  E. Lockhart writes a story about Frankie who goes from a girl that noticed to dating the most popular guy at the private boarding school that she attends.  Frankie wants to be more to Matthew than just a pretty girl on his arm.  Frankie finds out that Matthew is a member of the Bassett Hounds a secret all male society.    She then secretly infiltrates the Bassett Hounds and masterminds pranks all over the campus.  Frankie's charactar is a strong female who believes that she  is capable of anything.  There are a lot of interesting relationships in this book.  I am sure that Frankie even though a good role model is not always correct in how she treats everyone.  Still a good book for young girls to read.
