The Year of Secret Assignments Summary & Study Guide
The Year of Secret Assignments Summary & Study Guide Description
A Year of Secret Assignments tells the story of three private school girls who are forced to write letters to boys at a public high school with a bad reputation. Throughout this experience, all the students learn about expectations, honesty, and themselves.
Lydia, Emily and Cassie are three tenth grade girls at Ashbury High, a private high school in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia. As part of an English class assignment they must write letters to students at neighboring high school Brookfield, which has a terrible reputation. In addition to this assignment, as part of their long-lived friendship, Lydia periodically assigns Cassie and Emily secret missions (or "secret assignments") ranging from baking to shoplifting. The Pen Pal Project gets off to a bumpy start, with each girl unsure of how much to reveal about herself to the strangers at Brookfield. Lydia provocatively writes outlandish whims to her new pen pal, Seb. Seb doesn't know where the reality of Lydia ends and the fantasy begins, but automatically distrusts her because her father is a judge. Emily's pen pal Charlie takes her letter at face value, believing she is vapid and superficial - but Emily is simply seeking the approval of her English teacher with her bland letter. Cassie tells her pen pal Matthew all about her counseling sessions, but doesn't reveal why she is in therapy: her father died from leukemia the previous year, an event which deeply affected all three girls. Matthew writes back brief and violent letters, uninterested in getting to know Cassie.
As the letters continue, the pen pals slowly start to trust each other: Emily takes charge of teaching Charlie how to date, Lydia and Seb trade "covert missions" to test each other's daring, and after a great deal of one-sided correspondence, Cassie and Matthew start to bond over a mutual love of music. Lydia's "covert missions" from Seb require getting him out of his exams by pulling pranks at Brookfield. One of the pranks inadvertently involves Charlie, who believes he is saving the school from a gas leak...only to be humiliated in finding out that Brookfield doesn't use gas. As a result, Charlie obsesses about the girl who made the prank call that led to his humiliation, which happens to be Emily, on a secret assignment from Lydia. But Emily won't reveal the truth, admonishing him to let it go. All three sets of pen pals decide to meet: Emily and Charlie will go on a practice date so he can eventually win the girl of his dreams, Christina, and as time passes, Emily and Charlie begin to develop true feelings for each other. Lydia challenges Seb to a covert mission in which one of them has to recognize the other first in a public place, based not on pictures or descriptions, but their letters: Lydia doesn't know that Seb has already looked her up online, and is suspicious when he easily identifies her. Cassie and Matthew agree to meet so she can give him some information on children's rights that will help him get out of some trouble at school, but he never shows up. Lydia and Emily learn that there is no one named Matthew at Brookfield and begin to worry that Cassie is going insane. When Cassie finally meets up with "Matthew," a boy whose real name is Paul Wilson, and is cruelly taunted and mocked, the girls decide to seek revenge: steal Paul Wilson's girlfriend, Christina, away from him. It's a win-win situation: Charlie gets to be with the girl he loves and Paul loses what he loves most in the world. The plan backfires when Emily admits she really likes Charlie but before they can go on a real date, Charlie realizes Emily made the prank call to Brookfield that embarrassed him so much. Though she apologizes, he can't forgive her. Similarly, Lydia can't forgive Seb when she discovers he had seen her picture in a magazine article about her celebrity mother before they met and lied about it. Cassie, who admits she wrote to Matthew because he initially scared her, is afraid she will go through life scared like her father. Her fear compounds itself with fears that she will never follow her dream of being a singer, nor do anything to make her father proud.
Seb's anger flares after Paul maliciously recounts what he did to Cassie and he beats him up, sending Paul to the principal to get Seb expelled. Before he can get there, the girls intervene so Seb can get to an art competition he has entered. They use Paul's ego against him, tricking him into believing he has a role in a movie that films immediately. The girls think they have won their revenge, but find themselves in trouble when an anonymous witness claims they have been vandalizing Brookfield in a dangerous escalating rivalry between the schools. The teachers at Ashbury want to read Lydia, Emily, and Cassie's private papers in order to prove their involvement in the pranks, but the girls demand their right to privacy, and their lawyer parents back them up. An informal hearing is held at the school in which Emily presents a case to defend the girls' rights. Despite her fears about her own intelligence, Emily creates a solid argument in favor of teenagers' right to privacy, and wins the case. However, the girls are still the alleged vandals and stand at risk for expulsion. Seb, suspicious that the witness is Paul taking his own revenge, takes Cassie and Charlie to break into Paul's house, where they find evidence that he committed the crimes against Brookfield himself. They show up at the school meeting just in time to keep the girls from getting in trouble. Despite his sterling reputation, Paul cannot defend himself and the girls are exonerated.
As a show of unity between the schools, all the pen pals must participate together in the spring concert. The book ends happily with Emily and Charlie starting to date, as well as Lydia and Seb, who helps Lydia's dream of becoming an author come true by illustrating a book she writes. Cassie, coming to terms with how the death of her father has changed her, gets up the courage to sing a song in the concert, using one of "Matthew's" letters for the lyrics.

Literature / The Year of Secret Assignments
Edit locked.
So begins The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty, a simple book about three girls (Lydia, Emily, Cassie) writing to three boys (Sebastian, Charlie, and Matthew, respectively.) Oh, except there are the aforementioned secret assignments, along with prank calls and falsely-pulled fire alarms and cars getting broken into.
Also, it's an Epistolary Novel , and a companion to Feeling Sorry for Celia . In some countries, it's known as Finding Cassie Crazy . The following books are The Betrayal Of Bindy Mackenzie and Dreaming Of Amelia . note All the books have been published under different titles, for the record.
This story provides examples of:
- Adults Are Useless : Lydia's parents, while Cassie's mother does her best, as does Emily's father.
- Babies Make Everything Better : Lydia is unimpressed when Seb mentions that he looks after his baby brother, commenting, "I hope you weren't trying to impress me with that baby stuff. I think all guys should know how to look after a baby, especially if your mother's just had one."
- Belligerent Sexual Tension : Charlie and Emily, Lydia and Seb, particularly the latter couple.
- Big Brother Instinct : Seb to his baby brother.
- Big Damn Heroes : Cassie, Charlie and Seb bursting in during the climax of the book to save the day.
- Big Eater : Emily mentions eating a lot, mostly chocolate.
- Break the Cutie : Cassie started off pretty broken after her dad died, but what happens in the book makes it worse.
- Brilliant, but Lazy : Lydia passes her Science exam with 98%. According to Emily, she "does that sort of thing when she feels like it."
- Broken Record : Emily's third letter to Charlie: You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. You talk a pile of crap. Yours faithfully, Emily Thompson.
- Catchphrase : Emily at first has "Don't get me started!" but stops using it after Charlie lampshades and mocks it. Similarly, Charlie uses "Just say the word" before Emily gives him the same treatment.
- Celeb Crush : Emily asks Cass what her ideal way of being asked out is: Cass says that her ideal way would be for the guy to be Brad Pitt and he can just call her up and ask.
- Also Emily mentions a girl in her year who ran away to the circus when on a rant to Charlie, which was what Celia did.
- This particular piece turns into Fridge Brilliance when you read The Murder/Betrayal of Bindy McKenzie as it elaborates as to WHY she's this way in this particular book.
- Chekhov's Gun : In one of the early letters, Lydia mentions that she has a friend with a talent for locks. This friend's talent comes in handy a lot later, when they need to find some evidence.
- Cloudcuckoo Lander : Lydia. The other two girls have this as well, but Emily seems merely energetic whereas Cassie is just a bit distracted.
- Cool Bike : One of Charlie's brothers has a motorbike.
- Crazy-Prepared : Emily. The best example of this is when she's trying to set Charlie up with Christina and suggests "practice dates" such as Kicking a Pebble and Gazing Into A Girl's Eyes.
- Deadpan Snarker : Lydia and Sebastian. Charlie has shades of this, but mostly because he is the Straight Man to Emily. Cassie has a few moments, too.
- Determinator : When these girls want to accomplish something, they will stop at nothing.
- Disappeared Dad : Cassie's dad died a year before the start of the novel, and she's still recovering.
- Embarrassing Tattoo : Charlie's little sister Jess comes home with a tattoo of barbed wire around her wrist.
- Foreshadowing : Lydia suggests a contest with Seb where they have to meet at a cafe and figure out who the other person is before the other person figures out who they are, since they don't know what the other one looks like. To aid this, they're allowed to send a photo of something about them, but isn't of them, and ask three questions. While Lydia's questions could all help identify Seb, Seb's are pretty esoteric. It's a clue that he doesn't need identifiers, because he already knows what she looks like.
- Genre Savvy : When the Brookfield/Ashbury 'war' is going on, the pen-pal exchange program is suspended... so naturally everyone just switches to email.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl : Lydia's mother. A lot of it has to do with how she's a washed-up actress.
- Heroic BSoD : Cassie gets one after she finally meets Matthew Dunlop.
- Imaginary Friend : For a while, Emily and Lydia think Cassie's pen pal is one of these.
- Jerkass : Matthew Dunlop, aka Paul Wilson .
- Knight Templar : Lydia is not happy when she finds out what Matthew Dunlop did to Cassie, and makes every effort to track him down and punish him.
- Living Emotional Crutch : Cassie mentions in the book that she is trying to stand up on her own without Emily and Lydia's help so much, as she leant on them a lot shortly after her dad died.
- Loveable Rogue : Seb, who constantly asks Lydia to meet up with him while they are penpals and flirts with her constantly. And when they DO meet up...
- Malaproper : Emily. Charlie even calls her out on it a few times, though no one else does. Emily: The ladies seem to really go for Lydia's dad (Justice Oberman). They love him! :) I have heard tell (from Lydia's mother) that Justice Oberman's name was once a cinnamon for sex god.
- Massive Numbered Siblings : Charlie has at least three brothers and a little sister.
- Motor Mouth : Emily, which goes with the territory of being a Genki Girl .
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished : Charlie gets a call about how there's a gas leak at Brookfield High, so he immediately alerts everyone and evacuates the school. However, there is no gas at Brookfield High, which he didn't know, so he winds up getting profusely mocked for it.
- Oblivious Guilt Slinging : During the pseudo-trial, Paul says that he doesn't even know who Cassie is, and she could be a psychopath or something. Bindy then leans over and tells him that no, that's Cassie, her dad died last year and they were really close, so he has to be nice to her or everyone will hate him.
- Oblivious to Love : Emily manages to miss out on some very obvious hints that Charlie loves her, as she's convinced he's in love with Christina.
- Poor Communication Kills : Bindy McKenzie says she's heard of a Matthew Dunlop when she's actually confused him with someone else, but this makes it a lot harder for the Lydia and Emily. Since Matthew Dunlop doesn't actually exist.
- The Quiet One : Cassie's letters are nowhere near as long as Emily or Lydia's.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech : Matthew/Paul gives a brutal (and undeserved) one to Cassie a little before Winter Term.
- Running Gag : Emily constantly getting words wrong, Lydia confusing her stories for real life, and the secret assignments themselves.
- The Shrink : Cassie's therapist Claire is of the "dopey and ineffective" category, so much so that both Cassie and her mother simultaneously agree to stop seeing her at the end of the book.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis : Emily has some kind of grudge against Bindy, even before the aforementioned communication failure. One brilliant example occurs when Bindy is doing the transcript during the "trial" and asks when it finishes: Bindy: When can I stop typing? Emily: [sarcastically]] Now would be a good time, Bindy.
- Smoking Is Cool : Lydia seems to think so.
- Sudden Downer Ending : In-universe example- all of Lydia's stories end with her suddenly killing off the characters.
- Tall, Dark, and Snarky : Seb.
- Trademark Favorite Food : Emily loves chocolate so much that her nickname is Toblerone. Emily: I think it is an angiogram of Thompson, actually.
- Wham Line : The letters from Seb and Charlie that say that there's nobody at Brookfield High called Matthew Dunlop.
- White-Dwarf Starlet : Lydia's mother, who was in a soap opera and became semi-famous, but her career never went anywhere. She now owns a production studio, but hardly ever does anything with it. She also drinks a lot.

THE YEAR OF SECRET ASSIGNMENTS*
by Jaclyn Moriarty ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 1, 2004
Like the namesake in Moriarty’s bestselling Feeling Sorry for Celia (many clever references creep in), three more Aussie teens must establish pen pals at a rival public high school. This time risk-taker Lydia, self-assured Emily, and grieving, inhibited Cassie are all matched with boys who take an interest in them, resulting in dating lessons and plenty of covert operations. While Emily and Lydia’s correspondence leads to romantic involvements, Cassie’s mysterious, narcissistic pen pal turns cruel. It takes drastic measures, like secret assignments, to rescue Cassie from plummeting self-esteem and teach her pen pal a lesson in respect. This year of letter writing not only strengthens the girls’ friendship, but also guides them to find their own resolve. This story does not feel as fresh as the author’s debut, as it borrows too much from Celia , such as a variety of writing formats (letters, diaries, e-mails, guided writings in the Notebook™ , etc.), a parody of lawyers instead of ad executives, and madcap adventures with equally zany resolutions. But who can resist Moriarty’s biting humor? (Fiction. YA)

There’s not much plot here, but readers will relish the opportunity to climb inside Autumn’s head.
IF HE HAD BEEN WITH ME
by Laura Nowlin ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 1, 2013
The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut.
Autumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart; their mothers are still best friends. Growing up, Autumn and Finny were like peas in a pod despite their differences: Autumn is “quirky and odd,” while Finny is “sweet and shy and everyone like[s] him.” But in eighth grade, Autumn and Finny stop being friends due to an unexpected kiss. They drift apart and find new friends, but their friendship keeps asserting itself at parties, shared holiday gatherings and random encounters. In the summer after graduation, Autumn and Finny reconnect and are finally ready to be more than friends. But on August 8, everything changes, and Autumn has to rely on all her strength to move on. Autumn’s coming-of-age is sensitively chronicled, with a wide range of experiences and events shaping her character. Even secondary characters are well-rounded, with their own histories and motivations.

A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER
From the good girl's guide to murder series , vol. 1.
by Holly Jackson ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 4, 2020
Everyone believes that Salil Singh killed his girlfriend, Andrea Bell, five years ago—except Pippa Fitz-Amobi.
Pip has known and liked Sal since childhood; he’d supported her when she was being bullied in middle school. For her senior capstone project, Pip researches the disappearance of former Fairview High student Andie, last seen on April 18, 2014, by her younger sister, Becca. The original investigation concluded with most of the evidence pointing to Sal, who was found dead in the woods, apparently by suicide. Andie’s body was never recovered, and Sal was assumed by most to be guilty of abduction and murder. Unable to ignore the gaps in the case, Pip sets out to prove Sal’s innocence, beginning with interviewing his younger brother, Ravi. With his help, Pip digs deeper, unveiling unsavory facts about Andie and the real reason Sal’s friends couldn’t provide him with an alibi. But someone is watching, and Pip may be in more danger than she realizes. Pip’s sleuthing is both impressive and accessible. Online articles about the case and interview transcripts are provided throughout, and Pip’s capstone logs offer insights into her thought processes as new evidence and suspects arise. Jackson’s debut is well-executed and surprises readers with a connective web of interesting characters and motives. Pip and Andie are white, and Sal is of Indian descent.
