''Hating Alison Ashley'' is an Australian children's / young adult novel written by Creator/RobinKlein, later turned into a movie starring Australian pop star Music/DeltaGoodrem and a young SaskiaBurmeister.
Erica "Yuk" Yurken is a precocious (and slightly snotty) lower-middle class adolescent who belongs to a family she considers to be freaks and goes to what's widely considered to be the worst school in Australia. Dreaming of future stardom and considering herself on a higher level than most of her schoolmates, her parade is quite heavily rained on when new girl Alison Ashley is put in her class. Alison, from a wealthy family, is [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter richer, prettier and more talented]] and quickly gains more interest from the other students than Erica, who quickly finds herself being [[GreenEyedMonster consumed with envy]] and engaged in increasingly desperate attempts to one-up Alison, not realizing that [[LonelyRichKid Alison's life isn't as great as Erica thinks it is]].
