You've Got Blackmail
Fourteen year old Lauren "Lozzie" Cracknell cannot believe how much trouble she is in. First of all, her older sister Karen is outraged because Lauren always keeps borrowing Karen's green nail polish and other items without asking her permission. This really irritates Karen very much and she is furious and angry. To make matters worse, Lozzie's parents are separated and her mom is dating her English teacher, Mr. Hilary Barnett. As soon as Lozzie hears this, she gets very upset at both her mom and Mr. Hilary Barnett. Lozzie may be killed by her mom or by the school bully, Tonya, who is always looking for ways to threaten Lozzie. In addition to all this, Lozzie forgets to mail the invitation to her mom's customers at the A Cut Above salon; the latter is disturbed over an e-mail sent to all their classmates that combines Tonya's face with a donkey's body. When Tonya sees this, she gets very angry and blames Lozzie for doing that. With the help of Lozzie's best friend Dex, she finally gets the letters delivered. Tonya and her freaky super tall spy Fran the giraffe and their gang ready to execute Lozzie still remains a threat. At her mom's salon, Lozzie and Dex find a note addressed to Hilary black
I didn't like when Lozzie always kept borrowing Karen's green nail polish and other items without asking her permission, which caused a fight between them, but then they made up. I didn't like that Lozzie's mom was dating her English teacher. I didn't like when Lozzie didn't mail the invitations. I liked when Lozzie and Dex worked as a team and mailed the invitations. I didn't like "bully Tonya" and how she always threatened Lozzie.
