Recycling bins filled with plastic Starbucks tops and empty lip gloss tubes. The lost and found flooded with designer clothes. Fourteen-year-old-wardrobes that have nothing but Gucci and Prada. Luxury cars and even more luxurious mansions. Fancy schools and most of all, no rules for any of it. Here on the Upper East Side, everyone has standards to live up to. Your house must be a certain size, your car must be a certain brand. Your clothes must be designer and your hair salon-treated every day. You must have some connection to fame and some form of extreme wealth. And if you can make to standards, even beat those standards, you'll earn your spot at Wells Prep, the most prestigious, private, deluxe high-school in New York. Everyone starts small, and only a small group of girls and boys get to the top. So who will you be? The loser on a scholarship sitting at the bottom of the steps? Now's the time to decide. Because one wrong move, and you're done for. « less
