But Bonny has no choice. Forced to spend a day at Charm School while her mother is on a course, Bonny makes some surprising and hilarious discoveries. Can Bonny cope with listening to Mrs Opalene''s Helpful Handy Hits (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'' and are prepared to do almost anything to get it? After Bonny''s day there, Charm School will never be the same again . . .
Trade ReviewAnne 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 *
Assured and lively . . . A comical clarion call against the idea that girls should simply be decorative * The Sunday Times *
This ultra-modern tale sparkles and crackles from page one to a dramatic finale * The Bookseller *
All of Fine's usual pace and verve * TES *
