A night to die for
(Book)

"Mario Woods is looking forward to one normal night before he graduates. He's spent most of high school riding solo. But when fate lands him a date for prom, he figures this might be his chance to be less of a loner. Only, prom turns out to be a disaster. Just when Mario thought the night couldn't get any worse, he sees something on the side of the road while driving home. That something is Prom Queen Maribelle Starr--murdered and left for dead

Mario, Elana, Parker, Lucas, Mirabelle and their friends want to go to the prom to dance and have fun. The night takes a turn quickly. Mario gets crowned Prom King alongside the school's it-girl, Maribelle Starr. What's weirder is when they put the crown on his head, hundreds of worms slither out of it and all over Mario. And that night, while driving Elana home, he sees something on the side of the road: Prom Queen Maribelle Starr, left for dead. And now he's the prime suspect in her murder. -- adapted from back cover and Goodreads info
