Firecraker by David Iserson

Astrid Krieger is the seventeen year old who just got expelled from Bristol Academy, the boarding school. Now, she lives in a rocket ship prototype in her parent's estate's backyard. Now she is accused of cheating (though she did cheat, but at Bristol Academy who doesn't?), living with her family which she really dislikes (other the her grandfather), she was expelled from her vary favorite place, and now as further punishment, she has to go to public school for the very first time.

I really liked this book. It was a rather quick read, only 331 pages, but with relatively big font (maybe 14 or 15?). It also reminds me of the book Looking For Alaska, for it has similar pranks and the main Alaska is a lot like Astrid. It had very interesting twists and turns. I also liked how the reader finds out more and more information about her family as the book goes on. This book does have some bad language, but is ok other than that.

Enjoy! :)
