'Holly's new at St Clementine's Girls High School. She already knows who to watch out for, though. Jess Flynn, the most popular girl in year nine. She's beautiful and friendly, she's the leader of the 'it' group, and she's even being nice to Holly. But Jess has a secret and Holly knows it. Holly's best friend back in Melbourne, Calypso, told Holly the truth. Jess is a liar, a shoplifter and a boyfriend-stealer. Calypso wants revenge for her ex-friend's betrayal, and Holly's only too happy to oblige.

'But Holly might find she's bitten off more than she can chew in getting revenge on Jess Flynn. For a start, it's not proving so easy to follow Calypso's plan and catch Jess out. And then there's the fact that as Holly gets to know her, Jess isn't fitting the terrible picture Calypso has painted of her. The question is, who's manipulating who?' (Publisher's blurb)
