About this ebook
Short-listed for the 2010 CLA Young Adult Book Award
Tabby Freeman and Lora Froggett go to the same school, but they live in totally opposite worlds. Tabby is rich, pretty, and the most popular girl in her class. But behind closed doors, her perfect life is rapidly coming apart at the seams.
On the other side, Lora is smart, timid, and the constant target of bullies. While struggling to survive the piranha-infested halls of her school, she becomes increasingly nervous that somebody might discover the unbearable truth about whats been happening to her family.
Despite their differences, Tabby and Lora have something in common theyre both harbouring dark secrets and a lot of pain. Although theyve never been friends, a series of strange events causes their lives to crash together in ways neither could have ever imagined. And when the dust finally settles and all their secrets are forced out into the light, will the girls be saved or destroyed?

I'm only in getting ready to go into 6th grade but I know what Lora is going though. I have been bullied since kindergarden and I can tell you that's it's not fun. They would call me names or dare the guy I like to "pretended" to like me or ever take my stuff and lie to the teacher about it. I haven't even read the whole book;just the free sample they give and I would ask my parents to buy it for me because I think all young, bullied girls need to read it to know that they aren't alone.
