Sugar and Spice

A fabulous story by Jean Ure, a must for any girl's collection!

Things were fine at her junior school, but here at Parkfield High, if you're not in a gang you're no one. Even her old mates don't want to know her any more and the bullies are making her life a misery.Enter Shayanne, the new girl. Shayanne is cool, collected and doesn't give a stuff about any silly gangs. Ruth is astonished and delighted when Shay pals up with her. The bullies leave her alone and it's great to have a special friend again. But is the supercool Shay as together as she thinks, and why has she been excluded from two other schools?
