About this book
"How bad can an alternative school be? Tessa McPhail has landed at New Directions, a last-chance school in Montreal's roughest neighborhood. The kids are tough and the school is far from home, but the very worst thing is the curriculum: 50 percent academics, 50 percent boxing. The other students think boxing is cool. Tessa disagrees. But when a neighbor starts a petition to have New Directions closed down, Tessa discovers something worth fighting for, both in and out of the ring"-- When Tessa gets caught tagging, she is sent to an alternative school in one of Montreal's toughest neighborhoods, where boxing is a big part of the school curriculum.

But she gave herself the ultimate makeover and applied all her academic genius to study and imitate the social elite and now she rules the school. With her cool new friends and hottest-guy-in-school boyfriend, life's a beach - and that's where she's headed for spring break. That is, until her biology teacher breaks the bad news that she's failing and her only chance to make up the grade is to join the conservation club in Panama to save the golden frog. Jess finds herself in a foreign country with a new social crew, including a ghost from her past that could threaten her queen bee reputation.
