Busted

Earlier in the year, I read the book S.C.A.M which is a novel written using the most common SAT vocabulary words. Today, I just started another one like it called Busted. So far, the main character, Kim Stratford, is home from Stanford for winter break. She is described as one who can make anyone laugh in any situation and being home with the boring life of a small town in Connecticut, she decides to go for a bike ride. As she rides past her old high school, she talks about how sad she was when the flag in front was at half-mast. She talks about how it wouldn't have been like it if it weren't for her. To avoid ruining her fun bike ride, she stops thinking about her high school years and bikes to the police station where her mom is the chief of police. As she is walking to her mom's office, she over hears her mom talking about how they need an undercover cop to bust a drug ring in one of the local private schools. Kim thinks that she would be perfect for this because she is still young enough to fit in and she is just like her mom... So far, my favorite vocabulary word is serendipity which means luck.
