Fantastic Movie Novelization

Every year the Education Testing Service sends millions of high school seniors into severe shock, with the knowledge of knowing that if they don't do well on this one test, their hopes of getting into ivy league schools are shot. After all, the S.A.T.'s aren't about what you've learned in the past twelve years, but rather how well you take the test. This year, six seniors (Kyle, Matty, Anna, Desmond, Fransesca, and Roy) are going where no high school seniors have gone before. Into the ETS building, to steal the S.A.T.'s, and secure their futures. And, you know, to also please their parents.Levithan has done a fantastic job of turning the movie THE PERFECT SCORE, into a very enjoyable novelization. The characters are witty, and smart-mouthed, and the dialogue is exactly the same as what is shown on the previews for the movie. Unlike most teen movies/books, THE PERFECT SCORE's main story is not overshadowed by romance between characters, which is an enjoyable change. Teens preparing to take the S.A.T.'s will relate greatly to the characters, and see exactly where they are coming from. Fans of the movie will be impressed by the novelizations likeness to the film, and relish in every page they turn. A must-have.Erika Sorocco
