Kirra It's been awhile since I read it ^.^; but here's what I remember: Basically this girls' mother (she might be a queen but I'm not for sure) poison's her daughter with pills (I think) (she might do it to all the pretty women in the kingdom) so that she doesn't get pretty. Eventually I think the girl stops taking the pills and realizes what's happening. That's about all I remember. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you.

It's also known as Mirror, Mirror by Nancy Butcher.

From the blurb: The Queen (Veda) is 'sending all the girls in the kingdom to a new academy where they are all offered
a beauty wonder pill.'
'Why is the queen suddenly promoting beauty when she has always been the fairest of them all?'

The pills do start to poison them. The description you gave matches it.


Kirra Thankyou to everyone for helping me find this book!!
