The Chic Shall Inherit the Earth

Book excerpt: Let’s take a moment here. The words last term of senior year need some respect, not to mention celebration. They need to be paused over and savored. Excuse me. … Okay, I’m back. Yes, Lissa Mansfield is back, ready for graduation after overcoming cliques, classes, and controversy (just don’t bring up the Callum McCloud video incident from her first term). Her friendships with Gillian, Carly, Shani, and Mac have been through the fire and come out on the other side like pure gold. But the year isn’t over yet. Her nemesis, Vanessa Talbot, lets slip a secret so shocking that it could ruin her future—and Lissa holds the key to her total destruction. Lissa could rule the school, if it weren’t for her troublesome conscience prompting her to do the hardest thing in the world: the right thing. “Full of faith, love, and hope, Lissa, Gillian, Carly, Mac, and Shani lead by example—and this comes out ten-fold in The Chic Shall Inherit the Earth. When others would turn their backs, these girls reach out and try to make things better. You can’t read this book and not want to follow their example. Adina is a wonderful author, whose books no one should miss (no matter what your age).” —NightsandWeekends.com
