Synopsis
A powerful and page-turning read about one girl's struggle with her adolesence, and a viclous bully at school... Anna Goldsmith has moved with her family from her posh school in London to a small Yorkshire town, and the local comprehensive. Straight away she knows she doesn't fit in - she's too brainy, and her accent sticks out a mile. Nobody bothers to make friends with her, except for Hayley Parkin; the most popular girl in Anna's year. Charismatic, charming and pretry, with a year-round tan, Hayley is perfect, and Anna finally relaxes. But Hayley is not all she seems, soon she's freezing Anna out - ignoring her, making nasty sarcastic remarks, then nice as pie - Anna is totally confused. And as the school year progresses, Hayley's behaviour gets more and more erratic - and Anna sinks lower and lower into depression and despair. Only Melanie, her other best friend, understands, but can she help Anna, before she goes and does something really silly...Book Details
