Book excerpt: When Tiffany’s best friend joins Jacko’s gang Tiffany feels lonely and miserable. For awhile it seemed she could have her own boyfriend, Dave Trung. But Jacko’s gang label him a nerd and a wanker because he’s Vietnamese. She drops him and is invited to join Jacko’s gang on a six day beach camp. A holiday away from parents, police, and adults; where they can be free to do whatever they like. But the beach camp turns into a disaster. The boys are nearly always drunk, and when Tiffany—trying desperately to be one of the gang—gets drunk, two boys take advantage of her. When they return to school things are worse than ever: she is no longer in the gang, her best friend has found someone else, and her potential boy friend, Dave Trung, has now got a new girlfriend. But it is when she reports one of Jacko’s gang to the police for selling drugs at school that all the students turn against her. Well—almost everyone—a nerd joins her in her stand against Jacko’s gang with surprising results. Most importantly, this story is about learning to have the courage to stand up when everyone else is sitting down; to be an individual.
