    About this ebook

    Cammy Hall is what anyone would describe as a loser. She lives with her grandparents and has adopted their way of life… right down to the comfortable shoes and early bedtime. And can she help it that she actually likes to knit?

    At school, her skills with knitting needles and some yarn go completely unappreciated: people like Bekka Bell reign while Cammy and her best friend, the fearless Danish exchange student Gerdi, watch from the sidelines. Cammy’s used to being an outsider; after years of humiliating moments, her goal is simply to fly under the radar. Then she suddenly starts receiving mysterious text messages that lead her right to all the embarrassing secrets about the most popular kids in school. Cammy never expected to be able to climb up the high school food chain, and the agenda of the texter may be questionable—but how can she possibly give up the chance to be Queen?

    This is the print version of the groundbreaking online interactive serial LOSER/QUEEN that premiered in July 2010 on www.loserqueen.com. Each week, readers voted on major plot twists. The winning choice was then encorporated into the next week's chapters. Now that voting—and the book—are complete, LOSER/QUEEN will be published as a paperback and packed with extras from the author… and readers will have the opportunity to own the book they helped create!

    Jodi Lynn Anderson, the national bestselling author of Peaches and The Secrets of Peaches, has lived in Georgia, Costa Rica, and New York, but she currently lives in Washington, D.C.

    Brittney Lee is a designer and animator. She lives in Emeryville, CA.

      Based on a very interesting process (plot twists were voted on by online fans with the winner being incorporated), this is the tale of how Cammy Hall went from high school obscurity to top dog ranking and then crashed and burned. It all started after being humiliated when another girl caught her trying to change her clothes and showed her in her granny pants. The next thing Cammy knew, she had someone calling themselves the White Rabbit, texting or leaving notes that help her humiliate the girl who shamed her, then expose mean kids or do nicely anonymous things to teens like her who were picked on or felt bad about themselves.The process mystifies everyone, gains Cammy popularity, but forces her to lie and strains her relationship with her best friend, Gerdi, a Danish exchange student who liked the U.S. So much she's hung around for all four years of high school.The lying and eventual exposure is costly to Cammy, but allows her to figure out what's really important. The ending is a bit bittersweet, but I enjoyed the book and read it in one evening. Teens who like mystery, high school drama and revenge or who have experienced these, will like the book.

      Cammy has been teased throughout her school career over various embarrassing things that happened to her that couldn't be helped: in fifth grade, she threw up her ham sandwich and was called Hammy; her sophomore year, she got caught with her pants down and was called "Granny" due to her underwear style. She's used to being humiliated, but it still hurts. So when she gets a mysterious text message from someone who tells her how to get back at those who embarrassed her, she's intrigued. She's not told exactly what will happen, just what to do - like press play on a remote in Lit class, and a video starts up automatically. Since she doesn't have to think too much about her actions, Cammy just follows the instructions that are texted to her. The tasks aren't terribly mean, they just bring down the most popular kids just enough to make the rest of the school feel comfortable, and Cammy slowly becomes noticed and liked. But there always has to be a breaking point, and when Cammy refuses one of the instructions texted to her, the unknown "White Rabbit" threatens blackmail. Cammy has to decide if she will save herself or come clean.

      I read this book about two years after the release, so I didn't know how it was written, but I looked it up and absolutely love this. Anderson posted the first four chapters of the book online, and then allowed readers to vote on what would happen next. She wrote the rest of the book like a serial, posting the new sections each week to allow voting for the next section. I think that's a really interesting way to write a young adult book, and makes what happens in the book even more interesting, knowing this is what teenagers wanted to happen.

      Characters: I’m pretty sure the characters were either juniors or seniors in high school because some could drive, but it almost felt like they were in middle school. They were slightly immature and I just felt like the dialogue was unrealistic. Cammy wassweet and I don’t really see why she was shunned by everyone. She seemed perfectly alright to me although she was a little too eager to please everyone, especially the more popular kids. I liked Gerdi the best out of all the characters. She knew who she was and didn’t care one bit what other people thought of her. She really cared about Cammy and it was obvious by the way she tried to protect her.Plot: This whole book kind of reminded me of Teen Spirit, the ABC Family movie that came out a few weeks ago. If you haven’t watched it, it’s about a “Queen Bee” that dies during the Homecoming dance and instead of going straight to Heaven, she is stuck in a sort of limbo. In order to get out of limbo she must help the unpopular girl at her school become popular and get the boy of her dreams. That’s basically what happens in the book except for the whole dying part, but Cammy get’s help from a secret source just like the girl in the movie. The White Rabbit was strange and it was a little obvious as to who was behind the whole thing. The fact that the Rabbit knew so much about everyone and had a yearbook full of secrets was a little creepy. My favorite part were the letters and emails at the end, especially the ones from her grandparents because they were amusing.Cover: The cover goes really well with the story. It is simple, cute, and represents Cammy’s personality and the White Rabbit which is a major part of the story.Overall Impression: It was a cute and short read. I love the fact that it was written based on plot twists voted on by readers.

      Loser/Queen was a fun, lighthearted book that put a new twist on the "geek girl becomes popular" cliché. While I didn’t end up loving it, I was still thoroughly entertained by Cammy’s quest to get revenge on the popular crowd.While Cammy does quite a lot of mean things, at the command of an anonymous texter, she does even more wonderful things. Basically, she’s killing all of the people that laughed at her with kindness. I loved that aspect; it’s new and fun and entertaining.But there were so many things that left a bad taste in my mouth when I finished this. Gertie, Cammy’s Danish, eccentric best friend, was so overdramatic at times that I felt it didn’t seem realistic. I did enjoy Cammy’s relationship with Luke, but the random change of events in the last chapter very much ruined that for me. But, I appreciate the fact that the identity of the texter, White Rabbit, remained a mystery until the end. It was something to keep me guessing, to keep me reading, while the quirks and decisions of the characters were pushing me to put it down.Overall, Loser/Queen wasn’t the right book for me, but don’t let that discourage you from picking it up. It’s funny, cute, highly entertaining and the perfect book to pick up when you need some cheering up. I may not have loved it, but I definitely recommend it to my followers who crave a good chick-lit!
