Ruth is not enjoying her new school. Things were fine at her junior school, but here at Parkfield High, if youâre not in a gang youâre no one. Even her old mates donât 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 doesnât give a stuff about any silly gangs. Ruth is astonished and delighted when Shay pals up with her. The bullies leave her alone and itâs 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?
