<p><span style="font-size: 110%;">Jade is a girl who knows what she wants. She knows how to get it too. But when a sexist remark gets her blood boiling, Jade fights back with all she has.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;"><em>Thalia says:</em> 'The seed of the idea was very much the race between a girl and a guy. As I was writing, though, Jade&rsquo;s relationship with her mum and her sister&nbsp;became more important to her journey. I think it&rsquo;s because these gender issues (ie &lsquo;women fighting for their rights&rsquo;) are also about how women treat each other &ndash; how our mothers influence us, and how we react when our friends make different choices than our own. I find it interesting that an idea that was meant to be about gender conflict became so much about female relationships.'</span></p>
