Book Description

Sara and her father are moving to Boston from small-town Lundun, Massachusetts. She is going to attend the prestigious Anton High school—crowned “North America’s Most Elite and Most Bizarre” by TIME Magazine—harder to get into than Harvard. As the new girl, Sara doesn’t know anyone; better yet, no one knows her. That means she can escape her family’s checkered past, and her father can be a surgeon instead of “Crazy Charlie” the school janitor.

What’s the harm of a few little black lies? Especially if it transforms Sara into Anton’s latest “It” girl. But then one of the popular girls at school starts looking into Sara’s past, and her father’s obsessive compulsive disorder takes a turn for the worse. Soon, the whole charade just might come crashing down...


Author Extras

Critical Praise for Little Black Lies

"...this one illustrated some of the harsh realities of modern high school life, and the cruelty that can exist amongst high schoolers who seek to hide their own vulnerability by preying on others' weaknesses...Although Carling and her sidekicks are fairly stereotypical 'mean girls', Cohen does point out some of the underlying reasons behind their facades and she creates a very believable character in Sara, whose efforts to fit in nearly cost her a very steep price...The author also uses lovely turns of phrase and vividly descriptive passages to make this more than just another teen problem novel."
