Book description
It's survival of the fittest at Ravendene Comprehensive - the
terrifying teenage jungle for which Kim Lewis must trade her safe, posh
private school. But help is at hand - in the unlikely form of the rude,
raucous, toxic and tantalising Maria (aka Sugar) Sweet, queen of the
'Ravers'. As Kim falls quickly under her spell, and gambles her
good-girl past for an exciting life of late-night parties and daring
emotion, she must ask herself a disturbing question: has she fallen in
love with her best friend?

contemporaries.'
