The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart is the story of a teenage girl and her life at a private school. She is going to a private school that her father went to when he was a teenager. Her father loves this school and how it gives you connections to other bigger and better things later in life. He also mentions being a Basset, but doesn't really give Frankie and her sister any more information on that.
The story starts out with Frankie on vacation during the summer and is sick of being treated like a baby. When she goes back to school as a sophomore, she gets noticed by a boy she had a crush on and starts dating him. She learns he is also part of The Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds and is determined to find out more about this secret society. Frankie takes matters into her own hands in a very unique way.
So many things happen along the way that are typical social situations for teenagers. I really liked the way the different characters were portrayed in the book. I also really liked the character of Frankie. She reminded me a little of Flavia de Luce who I really like.
This was a great and easy read for a Secret Society pick.
