Charm school - Softcover
Bonny has no choice. If her mother is to keep her new job, Bonny must take a one-day course at Charm School. One day at Charm School turns out to be every bit as bad as Bonny had feared. The other girls are scratchy and self-obsessed, and will do anything to win the "glistering tiara".

Review:
Bonny is certainly not keen to spend a day at Charm School but her mother has to sit an exam and can't find a babysitter so she bites the bullet and heads off for a day of sheer agony.
Review:
As the delightfully nasty Charm School girls--prissy little tinkerbells with fluffy hair and glittery dancing shoes--rev up for the competition to win the glistering tiara of Miss Supreme Queen, the confused and self-conscious Bonny finds herself in the middle of an out-and-out, no-holds-barred, war. Anne Fine has never fought shy of digging for emotional truth in her work and here the author of Madame Doubtfire and Goggle-Eyes doesn't fail the reader for one second as she skilfully takes one day in the life of a group of little girls and gives an exquisite, achingly sad yet robustly comical insight into what makes us all tick. --Susan Harrison
"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)
"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)

Book Description copertina morbida. Condition: buone. Iscritta (rigorosamente controvoglia!) al Corso di Fascino, Bonny non ha scelta: deve andarci. Ma cosa c'entra Bonny, in jeans sdruciti e scarpe da ginnastica, con le bellissime, perfette Miss Bocciolo di Rosa, Miss Polvere di Stelle, Miss Caramella? Tutto starebbe a dimostrare che l'apparenza conti molto pił della sostanza, ma Bonny ha un piano che non potrą fallire. Anche in questo libro la Fine non smette di affrontare le problematiche pił scottanti che riguardano i piccoli: ma lo fa sempre sostenuta dalla fantasia e dallo humour.
