Opis

I am NOT going to Charm School.... But Bonny s mother needs her to take a one-day class and Charm School is all there is. Can Bonny cope with listening to Mrs Opalene s Handy Hints (like how to bleach your elbows )? And what about the other girls the awful, self-obsessed little princesses who really want to win the Glistering Tiara. After Bonny s day there, Charm School will never be the same again..."

Recenzje

Anne Fine is an excellent writer with strong feelings where it really matters. Her latest novel tears into the whole tacky business of juvenile beauty pageants . . . Facts as well as fur fly as the whole silly business is brought to its knees Independent

'She is translated into 26 languages and has regularly won every major children's literary award in the land, including the Carnegie Medal twice and the Whitbread Children's Novel award twice . . . There are few more influential, or more unfailingly intelligent, authors at work' Scotsman

'A subversively wicked gift for exploring family tensions' Independent
