<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>Mean Girls</em> meets <em>Life of Pi</em> in this darkly humorous, compulsively readable teen novel that's perfect for fans of Libba Bray and Andrew Smith. A hilariously dark and twisted story that sparkles with a remarkably fresh voice, <em>The Lifeboat Clique</em> is Kathy Parks's irreverent yet insightful novel about how to survive in the most unthinkable circumstances.</strong> </p><p>Some people might say that Denver has a death wish. Why else would she dare to sneak into a Malibu beach party where she'd be surrounded by enemies?</p><p>Oh yeah. Croix. Denver never thought in a million years he'd ask her out, but who is she to question this miracle of fate?</p><p>Well, that isn't the only surprise fate has in store.</p><p>During the party a tsunami hits the coast of California, and Denver and a handful of others escape death and are swept out to sea. Of course, one of her fellow castaways is none other than her ex-BFF, Abigail, who can barely stand the sight of her.</p><p>Trapped on a small boat with the most popular kids in school and waiting to be rescued, Denver wonders what might kill her first--dehydration, sunstroke, or the girl she used to think of as a sister?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>THEY'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT.</p><p>Some people might say that Denver has a death wish.
