Bad influence

£7.99

Amelia Bright wants to be the best at everything. But when it comes to popularity, she is dead last. No matter what she tries, she can’t shake her reputation as a maggoty nobody. When she meets cute new boy Evan, Amelia wonders if he can help her lose her loser status. And in a moment of hope, she agrees to something she quickly regrets – something that goes viral at school. Now she’s not just called ‘maggot’, she’s a ‘bad influence’ – and worse. But Amelia’s determined not to let one mistake define her – she’s so much more than the image everyone sees online.

Amelia Bright wants to be the best at everything. But when it comes to popularity, she is dead last. No matter what she tries, she can’t shake her reputation as a maggoty nobody.

When she meets cute new boy Evan, Amelia wonders if he can help her lose her loser status. And in a moment of hope, she agrees to something she quickly regrets – something that goes viral at school. Now she’s not just called “maggot”, she’s a “bad influence” – and worse. But Amelia’s determined not to let one mistake define her…she’s so much more than the image everyone sees online.

A powerfully real and funny new story from the rising queen of teen, about first kisses, learning to be true to yourself and how one click can last for ever…
