About

The first time she is blindfolded and kidnapped, star-athlete and posh boarding school newbie Sadie is terrified. She wakes up in a dark room surrounded by hushed whispers, hooded strangers, and a mysterious voice whispering not-so-sweet nothings in her ear. But once the robes come off, she realizes it's just an elaborate prank designed to induct her into the group that's been pulling the strings at Keating Hall for generations. The circle has it all--incredible connections; fabulous parties; and, of course, an in with the brother society's gorgeous pledges. The instant popularity is enough to make Sadie forget about the unexplained marks on her body, the creepy ceremonial rituals, and the incident that befell one of her teammates the year before. So the next time Sadie is kidnapped, she isn't scared, but she should be. The worst of Keating Hall is yet to come.

Reviews

"First-time author Friend offers excellent pacing, good character development, and an exciting plot in this dark, devious mystery.... Older teens who enjoy 'Pretty Little Liars' will eat this one up."
School Library Journal
"Lizzie Friend's Poor Little Dead Girls is an easy one-sitting mystery/thriller. In terms of secret society books, it's more in the vein of Tom Dolby's frothy Secret Society...but it's stronger than the Dolby in terms of heart [and] suspense.... I'll be watching for Friend's next book, whatever it is."
Kirkus Reviews blog
"Will give the toughest of readers goose bumps. With suspenseful pacing and gothic diction, Friend skillfully develops each character in this novel, which blends themes of romance and friendship with the glam of Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl."
