"FUNNY! I'm officially jealous."--Gordon Korman, author of ONE FALSE NOTEIs playing blackjack in the school cafeteria that bad? Samara Brooks doesn't think so. She isn't out to hurt anybody. She just wants to create some drama. And she does. Drama . . . and trouble.When the principal threatens to call her parents, Samara proposes a way to save herself. She'll prove she's not a bad person by conducting a scientific experiment to show she has the same DNA as one of the friendliest girls in school: class president Lily Frederick.   But then Nathan Weiss—a kid obsessed with UFOs and mysterious codes, gets involved. And things get really weird. . . . "If you like your mystery with a side of science and some delightful snark, you're in the right place," says New York Times bestselling author Libba Bray. And Leslie Margolis, author of Girls Acting Catty and Boys Are Dogs says, "Hilarious, wacky and charming."

That's Life, Samara Brooks review by TKono

"That's Life, Samara Brooks" by Daniel Ehrenhaft is something else. The book starts off with Samara getting in trouble for starting a gambling ring at school. Then, she proposes an idea to her principal--she will use an electron microscope to test her DNA against Lily's (school president and friend that bet on blackjack and lost); if the structure is the same, Samara should not be punished more for being "bad" because she is innately no different from Lily.
