Year of Secret Assignments
Year of Secret Assignments | Jaclyn Moriarty
6 posts | 28 read | 14 to read
Three girls. Three boys. Two rival schools. This could get messy. The Ashbury-Brookfield pen pal program is designed to bring together the two rival schools in a spirit of harmony and "the Joy of the Envelope." But when Cassie, Lydia, and Emily send their first letters to Matthew, Charlie, and Sebastian, things don't go quite as planned. What starts out as a simple letter exchange soon leads to secret missions, false alarms, lock picking, mistaken identities, and an all-out war between the schools--not to mention some really excellent kissing.

In Secret Assignments, three best friends from a fancy private high school take part in a pen-pal assignment with three boys from the nearby non-fancy non-private high school and begin to suspect that at least one of the boys may not be who he seems. It‘s an epistolary novel, made up of Diary Entries, Rude Graffiti, Hate Mail, Love Letters, Revenge Plots, Date Plans, Notes Between Friends, and Famous Last Words.‘

I don't read a lot of young adult books, but this one I quote regularly and have bought for my adult friends. And it was years before I knew it was actually the second book in a series, so it completely works as a standalone. #smellsliketeenspirit #junetunz

Erika13137 Great book! 👍 7y
Cinfhen Is this another Moriarty sister??? It must be good!!! 7y
drokka @Cinfhen I replied to this but on another thread (which I now can't find) and to the wrong person lol I don't know if she's related to the others; are they also Australian? 7y

Cinfhen That's funny😂 yes the other two sisters are Australian... 7y
drokka @Cinfhen Maybe they are related then. I haven't read any of their books and don't anything about them. Maybe worth investigating 😀 7y
Cinfhen Liane Moriarty has written a ton of stuff. Her book was just a very popular HBO miniseries 7y
Cinfhen haven't read but this is another one by the sister Nicola (edited) 7y
drokka @Cinfhen Well, look at that, I learned something today lol 7y

Fun read before fully devoting myself to my school books! Entertaining story involving pen pals, high school romance and chaos, and teenage theatrics. ☀️☀️☀️🌤 #readingforfunmmd #LitsyAtoZ @BookishMarginalia #readharderchallenge #setmorethan5000milesaway @bookriot #epicreadsmadlibs #personsname @EpicReads

Does anyone still have a pen pal? I've always wanted one, I love writing letters they seem like a lost art sometimes. So I'm going to read about people who send letters instead :) I love books that are written in different formats 😍

brendanmleonard As someone obsessed with journals and stationary, I like the idea of letter writing while knowing my handwriting is so wretched. 8y
Laura317 No, but I always wanted one. The closest thing I had to one was my Compassion International child. 8y
mllemay I had a pen pal throughout my childhood and it was so much fun. There's something so special about receiving a proper letter in the mail (not like all the junk we get nowadays 😒)! 8y

TheLondonBookworm @brendanmleonard I'm the same sometimes I think the only person who can read my writing is me :) 8y
TheLondonBookworm @Laura317 I'm not sure what that is but I did too! 8y
TheLondonBookworm @mllemay lucky you! I only ever read about them in books, letters are a lot more personal :) 8y
Hobbinol I'm all about stamps, letters, postcards....😢... I want a penpal! 8y
Eyelit If litsy pen pals becomes a thing can I join in the fun? 8y
Laura317 @TheLondonBookworm @brendanmleonard @mllemay @Hobbinol @Eyelit Litsy pen pals would be such fun! All I can think about is the relationship in 8y
Karen3 Litsy penpal sounds amazing!!! Let's do it. 8y
brendanmleonard Here for this. 8y
mllemay @TheLondonBookworm yup, I'd be up for Litsy pen pals! 8y
Dragon I would suggest as a fun book about letters and books 8y
Laura317 @Dragon Yes!!! 8y
TheLondonBookworm @brendanmleonard @Karen3 @mllemay @Laura317 @Eyelit It's going to be a thing! #litsypenpals all suggestions on logistics are very welcome. Any thoughts on a circle of letters? Everyone gets one and sends one on kinda thing? 8y
mllemay @TheLondonBookworm cool! Yeah, a circle of letters is probably the easiest way of doing things... 8y
TheLondonBookworm @Dragon I may have just purchased that book on Amazon... 😆😆😆 8y
Laura317 I had to look up a pen pal circle, but it looks like fun! I see a couple of ways of doing the circles. One was that person 1 collected the names and addresses. Writes one letter and sends it to #2 with names. Number 2 writes letter and includes it and #1 letter in package to #3 and so on. Depending on how big the circle is, that could be fun. You might even consider breaking down into circles of 6-8 people. I suppose it will depend on interest. 8y
Hobbinol I 'll throw my pen into the circle. 8y
brendanmleonard I'd also say it could be fun if people are able to write back/respond to letters and get real correspondence going. But I am down for whatever! 👍 8y
Laura317 @brendanmleonard Yeah, I'm good with that too. I m cool with more than one pen pal, too. 8y
TheLondonBookworm @brendanmleonard @Karen3 @mllemay @Laura317 @eyelit Thos sounds like a good way to start an then more regular letters can come from it perhaps? I'm happy to start up if anyone who wants to get involved sends their addresses to my email laurastephaniehammond1992@gmail.com I can start working this out! I suggest a literary letter of sorts maybe a few recs in their bit about yourself and where your from etc :) plan? 8y
Eyelit Awesome! I'll email you later this evening 😃 8y
[DELETED] 3323341091 having pen-pals is wonderful! i have a few people that i pass letters back and forth with. 😊 8y
mllemay @TheLondonBookworm I agree with @brendanmleonard that it would be great to have a real back and forth correspondence with someone (or a few people) 8y
