In modern books and series, there are a lot of smart female protagonists. But, one of the smartest may just be Spencer Hasting, of the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard. She has a smart personality,is very book smart, and has suspicions of who the main antagonist, “A”, and her late friend’s murderer is. When many people hear the word smart, the first thing they usually think about is book or school smart.

She is in AP economics, and in the following text, the author’s main goal was to showcase all of her classes, “She noticed that... for Italian VI was due Monday, and a three page English paper on Plato, and a calculus exam.” (pg. 184, Flawless). Also, she is only a junior. Usually, only seniors take (beginning) calculus, so we can infer that she skipped at least one year in math, and you must be very good at Italian to be in the sixth year in your junior year.

With the clues they get from “A”, the girls’ believe that “A” and Ali’s murderer are the same person.

For some reason, Melissa almost looked...relieved.” (pg. 17, Wanted) If the other girls were in the same situation, they would probably not notice anything wrong and see this as a normal conversation.
