Book Synopsis

Besties meets The Breakfast Club in Framed, a young middle grade graphic novel about a girl named Toby who has been wrongfully accused of throwing out other students' art projects.

Lately, Toby has had a bad attitude. In art class, her mood goes from bad to worse when she's given the assignment to paint something important to her. But before she can finish, she throws it out, snaps at her teacher, and is sent straight to detention. While in detention, Toby's art teacher storms in makes a big accusation: she says Toby threw out not just her painting, but all of her classmates' paintings, too...They were found just outside the art classroom in a trash can, and now Toby is in big trouble.

Toby knows she hasn't been the easiest person to be around lately, but she would never vandalize her classmates' stuff--she's been framed! Can Toby get to the bottom of this mystery before the end of the school day, or will she find herself stuck in detention for the foreseeable future?
