false <![CDATA[The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks]]> 1629601 12 Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14: Debate Club.Her father’s “bunny rabbit.” A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school. Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15: A knockout figure. A sharp tongue. A chip on her shoulder. And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy, word-obsessed Matthew Livingston. Frankie Laundau-Banks. No longer the kind of girl to take “no” for an answer. Especially when “no” means she’s excluded from her boyfriend’s all-male secret society. Not when her ex boyfriend shows up in the strangest of places. Not when she knows she’s smarter than any of them. When she knows Matthew’s lying to her. And when there are so many, many pranks to be done. Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16: Possibly a criminal mastermind. This is the story of how she got that way. 1623714 book 25 3 2008 The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks total:3044|5:928|4:1265|3:670|2:145|1:36| 3044 12036 4995 1037 1629601 0786838183 9780786838189 2871 986 The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks 3.95 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255661290m/1629601.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1629601.The_Disreputable_History_of_Frankie_Landau_Banks 5 21 false Thu Apr 24 09:54:47 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 19:38:19 -0700 2008
