Well it's a story about a high school girl who was mistreated and bullied by her schoolmates because of her strict religous beliefs and kinda wierd attitude. She had incredible telekinetic powers and several things happened and then on prom night when she thought people will start to accept her for the changes she did to herself to be accepted, some guys played a cruel joke on her and that was the final straw. Hell broke loose when she went mad and unleashed her powers on most of the town. I won't spoil the ending of it!

I think it is. It was Stepehn King's first novel and it was really succesful when it first came out. I believe if you walk into any bookstore and ask for it they'll know it.
