"The Scandalous Sisterhood Of Prickwillow Place" takes place in year 1890 and centers upon a group of girls who, though NotBloodSiblings, attend a boarding school together and are incredibly close as if they are sisters. The only problem with their boarding school is the woman who runs it, Mrs. Placket, who although not cruel is not by any standards their ideal headmistress.

*TheTeam: The seven girls at Prickwillow Place
**TheLeader: [[NotQuiteTheRightThing Smooth Kitty]], while not the official leader, takes the role of the leader of the team--she decides what they are going to do and they all tend to listen to her. However, despite her intelligence and good intentions, she ends up getting them into more trouble than she gets them out of.
**TheLancer: [[FilleFatale Disgraceful Mary Jane]] is Kitty's [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friend]] and second-in-command, and often the only person to question Kitty's plans or who Kitty will look to for advice on what they're doing. She's also BrilliantButLazy to Kitty's TheDeterminator.
**TheHeart: [[TeamMom Stout Alice]] takes this role. While [[GoodIsDumb Dear Roberta's]] known for being the kindest, it's Alice who holds the seven of them together and stops the arguments. She's also more mature and sensible than the others.
**TheSmartGuy: [[MadScientist Pocked Louise]]. She's the youngest but smartest of the seven girls; well-versed in chemistry, medicine, and science in general while also being cleverer and more scholarly than the others. She's the one to solve the mystery in the end.

On the side of it, Pocked Louise, the smartest of the sisters, has no interest in dating, and Dull Martha, the stupidest, is said to be very plain looking

A 2014 middle grade novel by Julie Berry.
"The Scandalous Sisterhood Of Prickwillow Place" takes place in year 1890 and centers upon a group of girls who, though NotBloodSiblings, attend a boarding school together and are incredibly close as if they are sisters. The only problem with their boarding school is the woman who runs it, Mrs. Placket, who although not cruel is not by any standards their ideal headmistress.
When a surprising event happens in Prickwillow Place, the seven girls must bond together to a great degree in order to trick several adults who insist on showing up unwelcome, and also they must figure out the truth for themselves, even while they know one of them may be at fault.
The girls are: "Smooth" Kitty (TheAce; known for her coolness, but also her ruthlessness. TheLeader of the group), "Disgraceful" Mary Jane (TheGadfly; known for her many scandalous flirtations. TheLancer of the group), "Stout" Alice (OnlySaneMan; known for being a good actress and loyal friend), "Pocked" Louise (TheSmartGuy; known for her her love of science and talent in medicine, and also her feistiness. Can also be the ButtMonkey due to being the youngest of the sisters), "Dour" Elinor (TheStoic; known for her fascination with death and her love of dark literature), "Dear" Roberta (TheHeart; known for being the nicest of the team), and "Dull" Martha (TheDitz; known for her amazing lack of intelligence)
----
!!Tropes:
*TheAce: Smooth Kitty is generally viewed as this by the other girls.
*AdultsAreUseless: After their headmistress gets murdered, seven teenage girls have to hide the body and solve the case
*AntiHero: You could argue the girls at Prickwillow Place are this. Even though they were only trying to avoid being sent back to their awful homes and being separated from one another, they ''did'' hide two bodies and trick many people into believing Mrs. Placket and Mr. Godding were still alive, and they shamelessly buried the bodies in the garden, AND they let an unknown murderer stay on the loose instead of calling the police
*BadassBookworm: Mary Jane and Elinor
*BerserkButton: Louise cannot STAND being called little
*BewareTheQuietOnes: Dour Elinor
*BigSisterBully: Subverted since they're not blood siblings, but Mary Jane tends to give Louise a very hard time--although she does love her, of course
*BlatantLies: Even disguised, there is no possible way Alice could pass for Mrs. Placket, but none the less they have her dress up like their deceased headmistress, and everyone who visits the house falls for it
*BrainlessBeauty: Mary Jane tends to act like this sometimes, although she's really BrilliantButLazy
*BrilliantButLazy: Disgraceful Mary Jane is very clever and has proven herself to be as capable of solving the mystery as the others, and yet puts in little effort to her educations simply because she can't be bothered
*ButtMonkey: Oddly, Louise (the smartest) and Martha (the stupidest) are the two who are always given the worst jobs and, in Louise's case, mocked by the other girls
*CharacterDevelopment: For Dull Martha; who goes to being unrealistically stupid to a dumb, but still lovable character whom you actually want to succeed
*CharacterFocus: The story is technically about all the girls, but it's pretty noticeable that Kitty is closest to being the main character, and Roberta probably the farthest
*ChildProdigy: Pocked Louise is the youngest and smartest of the girls
*Cloudcuckoolander: Louise can be this at times; such as when she randomly adopted a dog and [[spoiler: named it after the previous night's murder victim]] much to the confusion of the other girls.
*ComedicSociopathy: One could argue the seven girls are this. Sure, they didn't kill anyone themselves, but once it happened, they showed no emotion whatsoever and buried the bodies without even thinking about it
*CreepyChild: Although she's a teenager and not much of a child anymore, Elinor definitely counts
**Louise, as well, although to a lesser extent
**CreepyGood: All seven main characters are on the creepy side, but they're certainly the protagonists
*DarkerAndEdgier: Things get a lot more intense VERY quickly after [[spoiler: Alice is nearly poisoned]] and the girls start to wonder what they got themselves into
**DeadpanSnarker: Mary Jane
*DeadPersonImpersonation: Dressing Alice up as Mrs. Placket[[spoiler:--it nearly ends very, very badly]]
*TheDitz: Dull Martha
*DontSplitUsUp: The girls fear of what will happen after Mrs. Placket is murdered. It's the main reason they hide the body
*DoesNotLikeMen: All the girls to an extent; but mostly Louise (who has no interest in dating and just likes science), and Mary Jane (who loves having brief, scandalous relationships but appears to have no desire for a serious one)
*TheGadfly: Mary Jane is this, although mostly just to Louise
*GeniusDitz: Dear Roberta is an idiot in all respects other then law, which she is very well versed in
*TheGhost: Julius, until [[spoiler: he shows up at a party the girls go to]]
*GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Mary Jane enjoys reading romance novels, and hides bodies in her spare time
*GoodIsDumb: PlayedWith; most of the girls, although arguably AntiHeroes, are certainly good people trying to do the right thing, and they're all known for their intelligence. However, Dear Roberta, who is known for being the nicest, is also the second-stupidest after Martha
*HeterosexualLifePartners: Kitty with Mary Jane. Also, Louise with Elinor
*InSeriesNickname: The girls call Julius "Darling Julius" because that's how they first heard of him
**Mary Jane calls Kitty "Kit"
*JerkassRealization: Kitty realizes many of her actions throughout the book, while not horrible, were not correct, either, and ended up endangering the people she loves most
*JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mary Jane isn't always helpful and tends to give the other girls a hard time, but when it comes down to it she is definitely as loyal as the rest of them and will do whatever it takes to make sure they stay together
*TheLancer: Mary Jane to Kitty's leader.
*TheLeader: Smooth Kitty takes the role of the gang's ring leader
*LittleMissBadass: All seven of the girls
*MadScientist: Pocked Louise shows traits of this
*NightmareFetishist: Elinor loves death, darkness, murder (to an extent), and the like. Louise also applies to this trope, although it's a bit more subtle.
*NotBloodSiblings: The girls at Prickwillow Place act like sisters, and really are for everything that counts, but they have no biological relation
*NotSoDifferent: Smooth Kitty despises her father, but realizes at the end they aren't as different as she would like to believe
*NotSoStoic: One of Elinor's signature traits is her lack of emotion, until she snaps at the end of the book and does a big part in helping to solve the mystery
*OnlySaneMan: Alice is smart, unlike Martha and Roberta, and she's less ruthless than Kitty and Mary Jane, and she's less fascinated with death than Louise and Elinor
*PluckyGirl: Louise, particularly when someone either doubts her intelligence or calls her little
*PoliceAreUseless: The police do come to investigate after several days, but the girls are able to trick them with very little effort
*TheQuietOne: Dour Elinor
*TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Louise gives one to Mary Jane; it's fairly justified
*SkewedPriorities: PlayedForLaughs; the seven girls watch two people die, and their main concern is where are they going to hide the bodies, and how they're going to stay at school now that their headmistress is dead. Most notable with Louise, where her main concern was why SHE had to be the one to examine the bodies, because apparently she was always given the worst jobs
*TheSmartGuy: Pocked Louise is shown to be the smartest because of her knowledge of science, medicine, chemistry, and because she ends up being the one to solve the mystery. But all of seven on them are notably intelligent except for Dear Roberta and Dull Martha
*TheStoic: Dour Elinor; best noted by how she saw two people die and was only mildly interested, with her response being simply "Dead, I imagine". [[spoiler: But then at the end of the book she has her NotSoStoic moment.]]
**Kitty can be this from time to time as well, but it's subverted. She usually shows emotion...just not after witnessing two people get poisoned and having to hide their bodies. But this more due to a (very Downplayed) LackOfEmpathy.
*TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Dour Elinor and Pocked Louise are tomboys to Disgraceful Mary Jane's girly girl
*TrueCompanions: The seven girls at Prickwillow Place--it's one of the main things the story centers on
*WellIntentionedExtremist: All seven main characters, although it's probably most exaggerated with Kitty
*WiseBeyondTheirYears: With the exception of Roberta and Martha, each of the girls apply, but mostly Louise who's the youngest and smartest of them
