Popular party girl and
high school senior Jessica Scott has a secret:
she used to be a nerd — a big
one; a goody two-shoes, grade-skipping,
all-state spelling bee champ. But she
lost the braces, put on some contacts, and
applied all her academic genius to
studying and imitating the social elite. Now
she rules the school from the
upper echelon of the high school realm. With
her cool new friends and hottest-guy-in-school
boyfriend, life’s a beach — and that’s where
she’s headed for Spring Break.
That is, until her teacher breaks the bad news
that she’s failing Biology — and
her only chance to make up the grade is to
throw away the culminating trip of her
hard-earned popularity and join the
Conservation Club in Panama to save the
Golden Frog.
Unable to let go of her faded college dreams, Jess
finds herself in a foreign
country with a new social crew, and one
handsome face that stands out as a
blast from the past, threatening to ruin her
queen bee reputation. Travis
Henley may have grown up, but he still likes to
play childish games and as
payment for retrieving Jess’ lost ring from the
bottom of a jungle pool, he
wants three dates. While Jess does battle with
spiders, snakes, wildfires and
smart mean girls, she desperately tries to hang
on to the last vestiges of her
popular existence like the Golden Frog from its
webbed toe. But as she starts
to care about something more than tanning and
texting – a species on the verge
of disappearing forever – she may realize the
worth of her inner nerd, and the
one frog in particular that could be her prince
in disguise.
Set in the lush and tropical El Valle de Anton, this modern
fairytale
re-imagining of “The Frog Prince” is
toe-curling contemporary romance with an
environmentalist heartbeat, in the tradition of
Stephanie Perkins.
