Synopsis 6-The Bailey Game by Celia Rees

The Bailey Game, which title sounds curious, is a fantastic and intriguing book. The protagonists are two girls, Alex Lewis and Lauren Prince. Lauren is the new girl and becomes the prey of all her schoolmates. Alex decides to help her, because she doesn't want her to end like Michael Bailey, who received the treatment before. They both received bad jokes and serious pranks, but with a lot of force, they won the fight. The Bailey Game had to stop, nobody deserved to be treated like that, they couldn't destroy people's live as they did with Bailey. But Bailey was almost a freak, instead Lauren was a nice girl, and she got 'the treatment' just because she refused to go out with the school's meanest guy, Greg Simpson. Alex and Lauren became adulated because they kicked off Greg Simpson and became best friends.
