Pulling Princes

It Girls, designer bunnies and royal snogs – a hilarious exposé of English girls’ boarding schools

Even I, the Queen of Doomsday Prophecies, hadn’t considered the possibility that I would be forced to share a room with The Honourable Georgina Castle Orpington…

Calypso is the school misfit. She’s been packed off to St. Augustine’s from America, and it’s not just her accent that stands her apart from the posh Sloanes in her year…there’s her fencing expertise too – and her only friend is Star, another social outcast and daughter of an eighties rock legend. The cool It Girls, Ladies and Hons are making Calypso’s life miserable.

She starts the summer term of Year Ten determined to launch Operation Cool, to reinvent herself as a new worldly-wise and experienced-with-boys Calypso. The results are unexpected, effective and very entertaining, especially when Calypso receives some royal attention…

'Outrageously funny and a serious contender for the teen chick-lit throne.'
