Book description

in totally opposite worlds. Tabby is rich, pretty, and the most
popular girl in her class. But behind closed doors, her rfectife 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
They're 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 would highly recommend Girl On the Other Side to teen and
adult readers alike. In short, anyone who has ever been bullied, bullied
someone else, or thought that the bullying of others was wrong will be
moved by Kerbels story."
