Lizzy doesn't know how to stand up to the bossy Big. Besides, she tells herself, doesn't she now have what she always wanted, a friend? However, Big goes further and further with her bizarre plans. Until things escalate – then Lizzy finally finds a way to say 'no' to Big. But from that moment on, the situation really gets out of hand. Read an excerpt from this book.
