Every year, on the Monday of Homecoming week, a mysterious list appears in the hallways at Mount Washington High School. Eight girls are listed, two from each class labeled as Ugliest or Prettiest.
Each chapter gives readers the first person perspective of each of the girls on the list, how they react to their newfound fame or infamy. Abby is thrilled to be named he prettiest Freshman, but her sister isn't. Jennifer has gotten Ugliest 4 years in a row. Candace is dumbfounded by her Ugliest status. It has always been a mystery as to who makes the list, who posts it each year. Will the mystery finally be solved?
