PRETTY LITTLE LIARS by Sara Shepard
As we closed the SISTERHOOD series, a new group of high school teens are introduced in PRETTY LITTLE LIARS by Sara Shepard. Meet Aria, Emily, Hanna, Spencer and Alison, AKA Ali, five friends joined at the hip having sleepovers, sharing secrets and being there for each other. Everything sixth and seventh grade girls do in an exclusive suburb of Philadelphia.
Together always, until the last day of seventh grade at the end of school sleepover, an argument breaks out and Ali leaves Spencer's barn never to be seen again.
Fast forward to the beginning of their junior year at an exclusive private school. Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer, no longer friends, finds someone is sending them messages about their personal secrets from the past and the present. The sender signs his/her work with letter A.
Could Ali be back? She is the only one who knows Aria's father had an affair and Aria is sleeping with her teacher; Emily prefers girls; Hanna's father may prefer his pretty stepdaughter; and Spencer is known for stealing her older sister's boyfriends. Then there is a secret they all keep.
This book is a page-turner. It is filled with all the angst you find on 90210 or the OC. Unfortunately nothing is resolved only introduced, so look for a sequel or I should say many sequels. I must admit I looking forward to the sequel due out in a few months.
I RECOMMEND THIS TITLE FOR GIRLS IN GRADES 9 TO 12.

i lovee this book. i just started reading pretty little liars and so far its really good. im on page 83 and its really good. but what i dont understand is y u only recommended it for grades 9 through 12. im in 8th and its a really good book. this book is alot like me and my friends last year in 7th grade. now were not as close. and i play field hockey as well. so its really cool. i just really like this book. my friend tay gave me this book to read because she just finished it and her mom bought her FLAWLESS to read and she said that its really good. so we hope to read the whoole collection because once u read 1 u just have the urge to go to the next. So i hope to finish this book by the time tay does so i can read the next 1.

wow. what an amazing book. i found it in a toy store while i was searching for my little sister's birthday present and found it! I'm so happy i bought it! Pretty Little Liars is such an amazing adventure and so realistic! Anyone who loves books like Gossip Girl and The A-List totally needs to go and pick up their own copy. Seriousley, do it! It's wayyy worth it!

This is by far one of my favorite book series. I'm so happy I found it. It is filled with suspence on what is going to happen next and filled with mystery. I just finished PERFECT in 8 days, I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't put the book down. I'm waiting for FLAWLESS to come into my library. I can't wait to continue the mystery and hopefully find out what really happened to Ali and who is black-mailing all 4 girls. You should defenetly read this book AND the whole series!!

It looks like we will finally learn who the killer is. This summer KILLER by Sara Shepard is coming out. Remember to reserve a copy at your local library.

I just finished Killer and I can't wait 'till the next book comes out! I don't understand why you recommended it to grades 9-12, I'm in 6th grade and this series is my all time favorite. Surprisingly, I liked it even better than the Twilight Saga! I love The Pretty Little Liars!!!
