A crisp clean first edition (as stated), no markings throughout: Praise for The Poison Apples: " Archer makes a wickedly funny debut...Alternating among their perspectives with considerable wit... The teens' initial misjudgments of one another fuel much of the initial comedy, while Archer's knowing prose gives even the old-fashioned moral a hip ring." - Publishers Weekly, Starred review "...friendship forms the core of Archer's tender, funny debut novel... Writing in the alternating voices of the three girls, Archer displays a sure sense of teens' dialogue, anxieties, and, best of all, humor...Clever, hip, and satisfying, this will attract many readers, who will look forward to the sequels suggested at the story's close." - Booklist "This pleasant read offers food for thought for even the most reluctant reader. The strength of the story lies in its realistic portrayal of teen insecurity and the need to have love and structure in a seemingly hostile world....Archer smoothly alternates the point of view among the three girls, offering insight into how their different personalities cope with hardship. Fans of Ann Brashare's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants will enjoy this tale of feisty young women on the brink of adulthood."--VOYA "The Poison Apple members...are entertaining and their hyperbolic tales of woe might be what's most appealing to gossip-loving adolescents."--Kirkus Reviews "...Good fun." - School Library Journal "...funny, often poignant first novel...What sets the book apart from many in the boarding school genre is the underlying compassion these three retain, despite their new and uncertain circumstances...

They think they are alone in their unhappiness until they arrive at Putnam Mount McKinsey, a posh boarding school located in lovely rural Massachusetts. Here is where they will plot their revenge.

R. seemed okay at first. She invited me and Dad over for dinner at her Upper West Side apartment, and we spent the first part of the evening just standing around and watching her cook. R. was mesmerizing; she swept around the kitchen in her silk robes and purple eye shadow, stirring bubbling pots of marinara sauce and bending down every few seconds to kiss Godot, her Yorkshire terrier. Dad was charmed by her, I could tell. She was beautiful and funny and she kept singing lines from different musicals. Dad would say, ""The Pajama Game," right?" and she'd shriek, "YES! EXACTLY!" and then he'd sip his beer in this pleased-with-himself way. And it was nice she'd invited me. I guess it was like their first date, so it was a pretty cool move for her to say, "Why don't you bring your daughter?" It made her seem easygoing, sweet, kid-loving. Not at all like a crazy, jealous psychopath, right? Wrong. Media >, [PU: St Martin's Press]<
