A fiercely individualist Goth girl wakes up to discover that the whole world has gone Goth and she's actually -- gag -- popular.

Jade Leigh is a nonconformist who values individuality above all else. She has a small group of like-minded Goth friends who wear black, dabble in the dark arts, and thrive outside the norm. They're considered the "freaks" of their high school. But when Jade's smart mouth lands her in trouble -- again -- her principal decides to teach her a lesson she'll never forget.

Taken to a remote location where she is strapped down and sedated, Jade wakes up in an alternate universe where she rules the school. But her best friends won't talk to her, and the people she used to hate are all Goth. Only Clarik, the mysterious new boy in town, operates outside all the cliques. And only Mercedes, the Barbie clone Jade loathes, believes that Jade's stuck in a virtual reality game -- because she's stuck there, too, now living the life of a "freak." Together, they realize they might never get back to reality...and that even if they do, things might never be the same.

"Oh My Goth" is the best book. After I read it, it became one of my absolute faves. It's so awesome!!! It has a mix of mystery, romance, violence, action, and many cliff-hangers.

  A reviewer from Wrightstown, NJ
YES!!!
I cannot wait to read this book, because I am ABSOLUTELY one for individuality, and I'm a "Goth" in society. I think it's awesome dressing in black, loving black, but then throwing people off because were so nice. LONG LIVE PUNK AND GOTH!

  christine from Springfield, MO
I totaly recomend this book!!!
I can really relate to Jade because Im one of the "goths" at my school,and most of the rich preps like to make fun of me for that,but its ok because being diffrent is cool!
  A reviewer from New York, New York
Seems Interesting
This books appears to be very interesting, even though it just adds to the common stereotype of the "goth" person. Being a goth means that you follow the the music subculture, not that you dress in black, that's a common misconception that apparently some people on this review list don't understand. Oh well, this will probably be one of those books that I will find humorous.
  ~crazy filipina~ from New York, NY

  A reviewer from PA

  Terry from laurel,maryland
AWESOME
Omfg i soo read this book its the best thing ever! this is like one of the first books i was able to read without thinking its boring! ITS AWESOME!
  The brooding artist from York, PA
Excellent and refreshing
I found this a wake up call to all those who use stereotypes to tell if someone's a good person or not. It's refreshing to see such excellent writing about how a girl turns from being close minded to opening up to the world around her. This is a high recommendation in my opinion. If you haven't read it, do so now!
  Nicole from Lameass, Wisconsin
Great Read!
So, I think this book was pretty well written so far, I'm about.. the fifth chapter, I believe, it's got a pretty okay plot, and it some parts really humor me. But, reading all theese other reviews, is about as funny as the book, I hate all the posers who brag how emo or goth they are. It's quite funny. Anyways, the book is pretty hardcore, a reccommended buy!

THIS BOOK MADE ME REALISE HOW DIFFERNT AMERICA IS FROM ENGLAND BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY.GREAT BOOK
  Asia Brianna from MA, lexington
great for stereotypes
i know exactly how jade feels. even though im not a goth, but not exactly a barbie type either. i do value being individual. its the only thing that i have left of being me. i love that this girl feels like standing out, and doesnt mind all of the comments that she gets every day. I go to school with a bunch of hollister and abercrombie "bi*****s", and i used to be one of them too. But i also know what it feels like to still have individuality. i also hate the fact that people label different people so casually. just the fact that she cares what no one thinks makes me soo happy. i cant wait till im (not like jade) but has enough confidence like her!
  A reviewer from Hopatcong, nj
its kool read it
i love it because it shows how all popular kids give a taste of the people beyond one group.
  A reviewer from Dripping Springs, Texas
AWSOME
This book was awsome. If I could I would practically marry Clarik!! OMG!! Talk about amazing. Everyone should read this book.
  Brittni from Cali
