It turns out the group Heather joined, the Marthas, are making her do impossible tasks, like decorating the teacher’s lounge. Heather asks Melinda to help and, despite being rejected, she still assists. Heather spends some of her free time with Melinda until the Marthas tell her Melinda gives her a bad reputation. Melinda starts to skip classes and spends her time in an old janitor’s closet she has renovated. The only class she can keep a good grade in is art, which she has with one of her old friends, Ivy. One day after thanksgiving Melinda builds a sculpture out of turkey bones. Ivy comments that it’s creepy, but in a good way. The two start to talk to each other more. Heather begs Melinda for help decorating for the prom, but Melinda tells her no. Things are finally looking better for Melinda. She just has one more thing she has to do, tell everyone why she called the police at the party.

Hola Shane Anthony! I havn't read this book, but i have seen the movie. Amazing story line. You seem to be enjoying it.
This book seems to fit you pretty well, Shane. I can totally see you making a sculpture out of turkey bones. You didn't co-opt a janitor's closet, did you?
This is a very interesting book!! Melinda goes through a lot of struggles throughout the book!!
Hm, it seems this book could turn out to be very interesting. It sounds like Melinda is keeping a secret, as well as trying to pick up her life and get things working better. Skipping classes wont help, though.
