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....
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.
