YA
Social outcast Perdita forms an uneasy friendship with ultra-popular Megan when both girls are assigned to detention. Soon narrator Megan must choose between loyalty to her clique and her growing respect for the increasingly unstable Perdita. This Australian import is set apart by the complexity of its two main characters and by the intricacy of its allusions.
