Madison MacDonald is back. Things at school have finally returned to normal for Madison now that the FriendVerse fiasco has been solved. Madison is out a best friend, but she now has an awesome boyfriend, Nate.
It's prom season, and Madison has found herself as Kittson's scapegoat in getting things done in time. It's the week before the prom and Madison is being pulled in every direction possible. She hardly has any time for Nate, and when they do get a moment together, a crisis always arises.
The most horrible crisis Madison could imagine happens. She is entrusted with delivering the school's infamous Hayes crown to the hotel for safekeeping for the prom. But her friend, Schuyler, for some unknown reason sneaks the crown from Madison and hands it over to Isabel, the rival school's prom planner.
Isabel lords it over Madison and her friends. She is giddy with joy, thinking she has finally gotten one up on them. But Madison and her friends come up with an elaborate plan to get the crown back. It helps that both schools have planned to hold their proms at the same hotel, on the same night. If everything goes as planned, Madison and friends may just be able to save the day.
WHAT'S YOUR STATUS? is another book in the TOP 8 series. Readers don't have to have read the first book to know what is happening in WHAT'S YOUR STATUS? This is strong enough to be a standalone story.
TOP 8 seemed to have more status updates and IMing going on, and I did miss that in WHAT'S YOUR STATUS? It's there, but not as frequently, I don't think. And to me, that was one of the most unique features of the original story. But beyond that one complaint, I enjoyed the intrigue and planning that Madison and her friends developed in this book. If you can suspend your belief that high school kids could pull off what they did to get the crown back, then WHAT'S YOUR STATUS? will be quite the treat for you.
