http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780143112129-0 : Ashley gave this to me for Christmas, after she started reading it. Listed as one of the top 5 fiction books of 2006, this is the fictional autobiography of Blue Van Meer, a high school senior with the IQ of a genius. After moving from town to town with her professor father, the two finally settle down for Blue's senior year at an exclusive prep school. While there, Blue falls in with an eccentric film teacher and five students. A strange death occurs, and Blue finds herself in the middle of a mystery. While pretentious at times, the writing is fabulous and the story engrossing. I found the ending a bit unsatisfying, but overall I would highly recommend this book - definitely among the best I've read in a very long while.
