Publisher's Synopsis
From the winner of the Carnegie Medal 1999 for Postcards from No Man's Land .
Melanie Prosser and her gang have the school sewn up, and they're making Lucy's life miserable. They have ways of getting what they want –gifts and money – and if they don't get what they want, watch out. Not a day goes by without them tormenting poor Lucy, but she's too ashamed to tell her parents and too scared to tell her teacher. Then Lucy finds an unexpected ally in Angus Burns. But when push comes to shove, there's only one thing to do: take on the present takers at their own game, to silence them once and for all.
