SYNOPSIS
Being Astrid Krieger is absolutely all it’s cracked up to be.

She lives in a rocket ship in the backyard of her parents’ estate. She was kicked out of the elite Bristol Academy and she’s intent on her own special kind of revenge to whomever betrayed her. She only loves her grandfather, an incredibly rich politician who makes his money building nuclear warheads.

It’s all good until… Dad said it was time to go to public school. Just hearing the words makes Astrid’s mouth taste like urine (which, not coincidentally, is exactly how the public school smells).

Will Astrid finally meet her match? Will she find out who betrayed her and got her expelled from Bristol? Is Noah, the sweet and awkward boy she just met, hiding something?
