Holly Lewis | 2 comments I read a book in 2003-4 when I was 9-10 (very different time to do today apparently) about a young girl who met another girl. The other girl was strange and also started to set fire to things. I feel like the name Poppy may have been involved but I am not sure. The story is about their intense relationship as one girl grows more wary of the other. The book was black with gold writing on the front. The cover art was of an eye with flames reflected in it. Any help would be appreciated.

Robert (ricroscupshigh) | 542 comments The Tulip Touch, by Anne Fine?

"Nobody wants Tulip in their gang. She skives off school, cheeks the teachers and makes herself unpopular with her classmates by telling awful lies. None of this matters to Natalie who finds Tulip exciting. At first she doesn't care that other people are upset and unnerved by Tulip's bizarre games, but as the games become increasingly sinister and dangerous, Natalie realises that Tulip is going too far, much too far, racing, in fact, to the novel's shocking ending."
