A Year in Girl Hell - Trashed by Meredith Costain
Hardie Grant Egmont, 2009. ISBN 9781921502316
(Ages 10 and up) Recommended. The final book in the series begins with
Alysha finally being accepted into the shinies. No longer is she the
girl standing on the side who gets sent on errands and is tested
constantly to see if she is worthy of the popularity. The only problem
is, Alysha is starting to question whether she really wants to give up
her old, caring friends and join the manipulative, popular group. To
remain in the shinies she will need to starve herself, and demonstrate
that she can be as controlling and nasty as the 'Chuck Twins' Jayde and
Paige. A feel-good ending to the series.
