The Ruling Class

In the posh suburban Dallas high school of Highland Park the beautiful and perfect Jeanette Sue is queen. The Ruling Class her clique of spectacularly cruel girls runs the school. Brutally. And no one questions them. Certainly not the little suck-up Myrna Fry whose only aim in life is to be part of the Ruling Class no matter what or who gets trashed. . Its a nightmare school caught in the grips of terror until the arrival of the totally undesir-able absolutely unfashionable and -- way worse -- poor Twyla Gay Stark. And then of course there is the tall and gorgeous hunk Ryder McQuaid Jeanette Sues property. Or so Jeanette Sue thinks.. With uncanny insight and unforgettable characters Francine Pascal has created a searing up-close look into the power games and class struggles within a seemingly friendly clique in a suburban high school. The Ruling Class is a magnetic tour de force created by a master storyteller at the top of her form.
