Girls' special ability to make each other's lives hell has always been fertile ground for fiction.
Bella Bathurst's new novel, Special, deals with how ghastly teenage girls can be. She explains to Jenni why groups of girls still have the power to horrify her.
At the other end of the spectrum, best-selling novelist Jacqueline Wilson delights in her young readers. She tells Jenni how she hopes her new book, Girls in Tears, will help girls prioritise female friendships.
