Actually, there's a small, but simple, price to this bargain of a page-turner book. Before I go over the rules, some things on Laurinda:Laurinda is an exclusive school for girls. At its secret core is the Cabinet, a trio of girls who wield power over their classmates - and some of their teachers.Entering this world of wealth and secrets is Lucy Lam, a scholarship girl with sharp eyes and a shaky sense of self. As she watches the Cabinet at work, and is courted by them, Lucy finds herself in a battle for her identity and integrity. Funny, feisty and moving, Laurinda explores Lucy's struggle to stay true to herself as she finds her way in a new world of privilege and opportunity.'Alice Pung totally nails it with Laurinda. Funny, horrifying, and sharp as a serpent's fangs.' John MarsdenI for one have written a review for this as well:Dear LucyAs we approach a new century, we must equip our student to become leaders in myriad far-reaching social, economic and cultural fields. Laurinda is proud to introduce and embrace experiences of diversity in our strong traditionIt is with great pleasure that I write to inform you that you have have been awarded the inaugural Laurinda Equal Access scholarship'Alice Pung's newest masterpiece Laurinda tells the story of Lucy Lam, an Asian Year 10 who is placed into a school with high expectations from both her teachers and family that is ruled by the power of the Cabinet; three malicious yet 'innocent' girls. As Lucy's year at Laurinda [College for girls] continues, she writes letters to Linh, a friend of hers of her experiences in life and at school.Laurinda is a warming, yet funny story of a girl struggling to find her own place and identity at the school and believing in herself. This can only lead to her own path for her future. Lucy gains not just belief in herself, but she also gets something that is more important: leader-ship.
