"Simon Glass was easy to hate. . . . I guess, really we each hated him for a dif
ferent reason, but we didn't realize it until the day we killed him."Fat, clumsy
Simon Glass is a nerd, a loser who occupies the lowest rung on the high school
social ladder. Everyone picks on him--until Rob Haynes shows up. Rob, a transfer
student with charisma to spare, immediately becomes the undisputed leader of th
e senior class. And he has plans for Simon.Rob enlists the help of his crew--wea
lthy, intellectual Young, ladies' man Bob, and sweet, athletic Coop--in a missio
n: turn sniveling Simon from total freak to would-be prom king. But as Simon ris
es to the top of the social ranks, he shows a new confidence and a devious side
that power-hungry Rob did not anticipate. And when Simon uncovers a dangerous se
cret, events darken. The result is disquieting, bone-chilling . . . and brutal.
