The List

The List Synopsis

'Page-turning… reveals the wars waged every day between girls and their images in mirrors' E. Lockhart, author of WE WERE LIARS

Prettiest or ugliest, once you're on the list, you'll never be the same.

It happens every September - the list is posted all over school.

Two girls are picked from each year. One is named the prettiest, one the ugliest.

The girls who are picked become the centre of attention. The girls who aren't are quickly forgotten.

Through the eyes of eight very different girls, THE LIST captures the high school experience with all the struggles of identity, self-esteem, and judgements.

Whether they're on the list or not, things will never be the same.
