Five teens embark on a summer of vigilante good samaritanism in a novel that's part The Breakfast Club, part The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, and utterly captivating. Rising high school senior Sadie is bracing herself for a long, lonely, and boring summer. But things take an unexpected turn when she steps in to help rescue a baby in distress and a video of her good deed goes viral. Suddenly internet-famous, Sadie's summer changes for the better when she's introduced to other "hometown heroes." These five very different teens form an unlikely alliance to secretly right local wrongs, but when they try to help a heroin-using friend, they get in over their heads and discover that there might be truth in the saying "no good deed goes unpunished." Can Sadie and her new friends make it through the summer with their friendships--and anonymity--intact? This rich and thought-provoking novel takes on timely issues and timeless experiences with a winning combination of romance, humor, and wisdom.

I bought this book at the dollar store because it had a cute cover. I had no idea what it was about. 🙊 I'm so glad I did! What a sweet fun story about a summer some high school seniors met and formed an unlikely friend group. They decided to try and make a difference and they did! I would have totally loved this book when I was a teen!!

I don't know why I was so drawn to this book but I couldn't put it down. A bunch of kids spreading the love.

The Unliklies covers some heavy stuff--violence, addiction, and bullying--but it isn't overwhelming. It comes off as brain candy, though it isn't. I also like the diverse cast of characters. The book is set in the Hamptons, but with locals and not seasonal residents, so it seems beachy.

This is what our reviewer had to say about #TheUnlikelies by Carrie Firestone "[THE UNLIKELIES] is an important and valuable read for all teen readers --- it is a book that teens will feel 'gets' them, a book that captures the essence of the teen experience and growing up."
