Frenemies When Best Friends Become Your Worst Enemy

Avalon Greene rules the fashion scene at her sunny middle school with a diamond-cald fist, giving props to classmates for their fashion-do's and calling them out for their most unfortunate clothes-pas. She's determined to host the social event of the season- a soiree in honour of her forever-friendship with Halley! Unfortunately, Halley's new look is one thing Avalon just can't celebrate.

Halley Brandon: just back from art camp, Halley can't wait to share her funky new style with her best friend, Avalon. But when Avalon cries fashion foul, Halley realises her best friend's true colours may clash with her own. Has their ultra-fabulous friendship finally gone out of style?

Best friends Avalon Greene and Halley Brandon have big plans for eighth grade. Not only are they co-editing their school's fashion blog, but the celebration of the girl's forever friendship is sure to be the blowout party of the year. But when the girls begin to disagree about.... well, everything, these two besties turn into full-blown worsties.

Frenemies is an upbeat and fun new chick lit series for girls (and boys) aged 11+. Written like a Kathy Lette novel for tweens, this novel deals with the real life experiences of when girls growing up and puberty changes more than body shape. Young writes about the dynamics of teen friendship and isn't afraid to show how the girls can exploit each other's weaknesses. More than just about a juvenile joust, Frenemies, deals with popular culture, the media, fashion, family and romance

Alexa Young lives in the Los Angeles area of the U.S and describes herself as a novelist, journalist, wife and mum, among other things. Until she started work on her tween lit series, she mostly worked on non-fiction projects. her first novel, Frenemies, is based on the way things were for her growing up, when she left her South Californian friends and spent two to three months at her family's 'summer home' on Cape Cod. The second book in the series is Faketastic!

Review: A must read for every teen. Friends are an important part of our life, but be prepared for the Frenemy, they are hard to pick but this will help you choose your friends and guard yourself against the ultimate betrayal.
