Carly Biels had the plan. Get a good score on the SAT, go to Princeton like everyone else in her family has already done, graduate and live a happy and good life. That was the plan until she flunked her SAT with a 1700-Princeton needs a 2200. Carly, panicking, received a text message from the Taker. The Taker promised to cheat on the essay and take the test for her, promising her a score at least 100 points from perfection. Carly decides to accept the offer, but finds herself being drawn away from her boyfriend Brad, cheating and lying to her friends, and getting to know her neighbor Ronald Gross a little bit better as a human and not a dork. But is all of this trouble really worth an SAT score. Only one way to find out-read the book!!!!

DJ hates her life. She had to quit the basketball team and all other sports and other activities to work 16 hours on the family farm. She does all of the farm work by herself because her dad broke his hip by not choosing to get an operation, her mother works 2 jobs to keep up with the mortgage and other bills, her two older brother walked out of her family and her youngest brother was too young to do anything. DJ hates that no one ever says thank-you for everything that she does, and DJ wants to walk out of her family just like her brothers, but she doesn't have the guts to do so. Then she meets a boy who need DJ's help with football. DJ begins to see a new side to her farmhand lifestyle....but will she be able to change her life just in time for the big game???
