The Revenge Playbook

July 21

Illustrated cover for The Revenge Playbook. Two Black girls in what look like white and blue school uniforms gaze at the viewer from the edges of the cover. The girl on the left isn't wearing her jacket and has her collar undone and her tie loose while carrying books or notebooks. The one on the right is wearing her jacket. Behind them and between them is what looks like a brown and green two-story school building. The Revenge Playbook by Rimma Onoseta
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Uyai and Fiyin may be roommates at Blue Waters Secondary School, but they are not friends. Uyai is popular and fierce—she dominates every room she walks into. Fiyin is nerdy and quiet—she’s easy to miss. Anyone who knows them (assuming they know who Fiyin is at all) would argue that, besides that shared dorm room, the two girls have absolutely nothing in common.

But they do.

Because both girls have been hurt. Humiliated. Taken advantage of. And both girls have just one boy to blame for it.

Fiyin thinks Uyai is an irresponsible mean girl. Uyai thinks Fiyin is an uptight loser. They both think the boy that hurt them deserves to suffer. But taking down one of the most popular guys in school isn’t a one-woman task. If they want to get their revenge before graduation, Uyai and Fiyin will need each other’s help—regardless of how they feel about each other.
