Tom Smith - Author
A friendship story that moves from social pressure into suspense.
Terri hates modelling. Fashion shows are silly. But she and stuck-up Celia have been asked to model leotards for the benefit of the gymnastics club and the school. Even her best friends Sonya Dawn, Angela Linda Jennifer and Monique are begging her to do it. Reluctantly she agrees. From then on, it's a model disaster. Terri's mom becomes a stage mother, making a video and promoting her like crazy. The day of the fashion show, with boys from the school watching, the modelling runway collapses... with her on it! Now she and her friends are locked in the mall after hours. Will they ever escape from the dark and spooky mall?

Sign in for personalised guidanceA friendship story that moves from social pressure into suspense.
Terri’s initial reluctance is challenged by persistent encouragement from people close to her.
An embarrassing public incident gives way to a darker after-hours predicament.
Notice whether embarrassment is treated as comic, painful or both, and how the later suspense changes the tone.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed; the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough.
