Natalie writes an advice column for the school newspaper under a pseudonym, and though the students love her column, her editor and his assistant treat her like a joke. Her pride on the line, Natalie decides to write a truly significant piece of investigative journalism in order to win an important writing contest to prove her worth as a writer. She goes undercover dressed as a male, calling herself Nat, as she infiltrates an all-boys school with the help of a brilliant preteen hacker.
This is a fast, entertaining and often very funny read. I love the heroine's sharp, snarky voice and, in general Natalie is an engaging heroine with a lot of spunk. There is a terrific romantic interest who is very sympathetic.
