That isn't exactly how prom night goes.
Instead, under Gobi's thick glasses and the many, many folds of fabric that make up her traditional Lithuanian prom costume (it just can't be called a dress) is a an uberhot ninja assassin bent on revenge - and prom night is the only night all five of her targets are going to be in the city on the same night. After taking out a couple of guys ripping on Perry for taking Gobi to the prom, she and Perry head to New York in his dad's Jaguar (a total bribe - Perry's dad has only let him back it out of the drive and, sometimes, sit in it when he's studying). Turns out the whole foreign exchange student thing was all part of Gobi's elaborate plot - all she needed was a getaway car and driver. Within minutes of entering the city, Perry finds himself with a dead body and a whole lot of broken glass on the hood of his dad's Jag and Gobi holding him at gunpoint, calmly threatening to blow up his house if he doesn't stop freaking out and drive already.
An adrenaline-fueled, action packed thrill ride of a novel that reads like an action movie, Perry and Gobi wind through New York City, leaving a trail of bodies behind them. Why is Gobi so bent on revenge? You'll just have to pick up this dark comedy @the library! If you loved the Alex Rider series or Ally Carter's Heist Society and Gallagher Girls books, you'l love Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick.
