Pretty Furious

Ages 14 And Up, Grades 9 And Up

#1 NYT Bestseller E. K. Johnston returns to contemporary feminist YA. This thrilling story of a small town, fierce friendships, and revenge served cold is a perfect companion to Exit, Pursued by a Bear.

In the small town of Eganston, Ontario, five high school friends have had enough. They've experienced the worst abuse, bullying, and gaslighting their small community has to offer. But it hasn't been all bad. They now know they can count on each other, and surviving their high school years has taught them a few things. One might even say they've learned some useful tactics. And this year is going to be all about using them.
