This is a fast and funny look at the pressures facing young girls to conform to fashion – and how they can be avoided – told in a gripping witty style from award-winning author Anne Fine.
'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.
'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.'
The Independent
'Assured and lively ... A comical clarion call against the idea that girls should simply be decorative.'
Sunday Times
'This ultra-modern tale sparkles and crackles from page one to a dramatic finale.'
The Bookseller
