Revenge of the Snob Squad

It starts in gym, when the four of them--the worst athletes in school--are forced to become a relay race team. Jenny is more interested in eating candy; Prairie has a bad leg; Lydia is a complete klutz; and Max is, well, Max. They call themselves the "Snob Squad," because they have to choose a name--and, to their surprise, as they practice, they find themselves becoming friends. So when they vow revenge on their archenemies, the Neon Nikes, headed by the principal's bratty daughter, it's time to watch out!"A dark laugh-out-loud comedy . . . Peters has written a moving story with laughter that doesn't make the sadness go away but makes it almost bearable." --Booklist
