"So uplifting and powerful - so, so good." - Cathy Cassidy

"Brave, honest, and heart-breakingly funny." - Ben Miller

"A beautiful, relevant story of courage, strength, and not letting other people decide who you are." - Kate Weston

Bad Influence by Tamsin Winter introduces us to Amelia Bright, a girl who strives to excel in everything. Yet, when it comes to popularity, she finds herself at the bottom of the list. Despite her efforts, she cannot shake off the label of being a maggoty nobody.

When Amelia encounters the charming newcomer Evan, she hopes he might be her ticket out of obscurity. In a flash of optimism, she makes a decision she soon regrets—a decision that takes the school by storm and goes viral. Now, she's no longer just a "maggot"; she's considered a "bad influence" and more.

Amelia is determined not to let a single mistake define her. She knows she's much more than the online image that has taken over.

This is a powerfully real and humorous story from the rising queen of teen fiction. It's about first kisses, learning to be true to oneself, and the enduring impact of a single click.
