Synopsis Bored with her life, popular high school junior Libby signs up for an internship at the zoo and discovers that the "science nerds" she meets there may have a few things to teach her about friendship and life.
In this young-adult novel about transformation, wildly popular trendsetting high school junior named Libby Brin--responsible for, among other things, Pajama Day--is bored to tears with everything. Her empty-headed, narcissistic best friend, Perla; her frat-boyish boyfriend, Kenji; and the rest of her too-cool-for-school gang seem stupider every day. But when she randomly signs up for an internship at the Los Angeles Zoo, Libby is shocked to discover she really enjoys it. Even Tina and Sheldon, people she normally would view as total losers, are really cool. Soon, as a result of her new interest, Libby experiences both painful and exciting changes that affect everything in her life. Cecil Castellucci is the author of BOY PROOF.
