The Drowning Pond

Nicky is the least popular girl in school, and the glossy friends who were briefly interested are bored. And she'll do anything to keep them. Nicky finds picking on Lizzie, the new girl, is easy: everyone thinks she's weird anyway. But when does weird become witchy? As Nicky's plan winds up to its conclusion, she finds not only has she lost her friends, she's unleashed something truly evil. Suggested level: secondary.
