"On the train to boarding school after the start of term, new girl, Caroline Aspley, is relieved to meet classmate Rachel, with whom she strikes up an immediate friendship. But Rachel is the school misfit and Caroline finds himself soon having to choose between friendship with the popular Fawn Keary and her gang, or social ostracism. Should she stand by Rachel, despite her increasingly bizarre and possessive behaviour, or not? Then Rachel vanishes, leaving a note to say she has run away with her boyfriend, and only Caroline can begin to guess what might really have happened. A fast-paced and powerful adolescent story which hits to the heart of loyalty."
