Jodie Andrefski

Jodie Andrefski writes contemporary fiction for younger readers, often focusing on friendship, family strain, bullying, and the consequences of impulsive choices. Entangled Teen published The Society in 2016. The novel follows Samantha Evans, a Trinity Academy student whose former friend Jessica has subjected her to sustained harassment after their families' lives changed. Samantha creates false invitations to infiltrate the school's secretive student society and expose its privileged members, but the scheme grows more dangerous than she intended. The book treats bullying, revenge, and personal responsibility through contemporary school fiction. Andrefski builds suspense from social hierarchies, computer deception, and divided loyalties rather than from a distant fantasy setting. Samantha's anger remains understandable even as her decisions acquire consequences for classmates who were not part of the original conflict. The story asks readers to distinguish accountability from retaliation and to consider how humiliation can reproduce itself when power changes hands. Its pace comes from the widening gap between Samantha's original plan and the actions other students take in response.
