In "The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks," Frankie is a clever and ambitious teenager who attends an elite boarding school. When she becomes interested in the all-male secret society called the Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds, she finds herself thwarted by her boyfriend, who underestimates her capabilities. Determined to prove herself, Frankie orchestrates a series of pranks and schemes, using her intelligence to manipulate the group from behind the scenes. As she navigates issues of gender, power, and identity, Frankie challenges the status quo and learns to assert her voice, ultimately embracing her own strengths and ambitions.
