Book Look-Hating Alison Ashley

This time we will be taking a Book Look at Hating Alison Ashley by Robin Klein.
This book is about a girl, Erica Yurken, who is (or she thinks) is the best at her school, Barringa East. That is, until the pretty, perfect and lovable Alison Ashley enters the school gates. Instantly, Erica dislikes Alison, and Alison does not really like Erica either!
Erica lives in the run down part of her town, where walls are graffiti ed and houses look like like pigsties. But Alison lives in the beautiful side of the town, where the rich and important people live. Obviously, these two very different girls come from extremely different backgrounds so they just have to have a brick wall between them. This book is hilarious and will give you a laugh as Alison and Erica battle it out. The ending is nice though, but I won't spoil it. You feel sorry for both of the characters, and neither of the girls are good or bad.
There is a movie of Hating Alison Ashley featuring our very own Australian superstar, Delta Goodrem as Alison Ashley, but I suggest reading the book first. Here's a secret- the book is WAY better!
Zobo!
