Charm School - Softcover
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...

About the Author:
Anne Fine has been an acknowledged top author in the children's book world since her first book was published in the mid l970s, and has now written more than forty books and won virtually every major award going, including the Carnegie Medal (more than once), the Whitbread Children's Award, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize and others. The Children's Laureate from 2001-2003, Anne is also very funny and young readers love her lack of hypocrisy about the family and her honesty about how people can behave. She lives in the North-East. 'One of the sharpest and most humorous observers of the human condition writing today for the young' School Librarian '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
From AudioFile:
When Bonny is made to attend charm school, her worst fears are realized, but the experience also brings out her creative side. Prunella Scales, of "Fawlty Towers" fame, does a delightful job introducing each of the girls, as well as their upbeat teacher. As the girls compete for the "glistering" tiara, the potential pitfalls of girls' behavior at this age emerge as the girls are overly critical of each other and themselves. Weight, food, and clothing are everything while the fun things in life are overlooked--until Bonny shakes things up. This is an excellent choice for girls as they navigate adolescence.
