Girls' affairs
Katie’s having stress with the 'sharks' in her class: a nasty clique of girls who start untrue, mean rumours and get people blamed for things they never did. The 'Sharks' are the worst ever: Chrissie, Laura and Nicki gossip, bully and irritate everyone – but nobody dares to stand up to them. And now they’re accusing Katie of stealing Nicki’s phone! That’s not even Katie’s worst problem: her mother is ill and has to go to a treatment centre for four weeks and her best friend Sophie isn’t talking to her. Nightmare! But with help from her cousin and her two new friends, Katie manages to keep her head above water. She learns to get along for a while without her mother, talks to Sophie and dares, after all, to open her mouth to disagree with the 'sharks'. And along the way she somehow manages to fall (just a bit!) in love...
