Product Description

When Calypso returns from Los Angeles to her English boarding school for the summer term, she is determined to fit in with the popular crowd. Her plan is to pretend her mother's gay assistant back home is her boyfriend. And to her surprise, the trick works, at least at first. She makes a whole batch of new friends, and even finds herself winning the unwritten contest to woo the prince at the boys' school next door. But one girl, Honey, undermines all her efforts. When Calypso and Prince Freddy end up in the tabloids and everything seems set to go down the drain, it's Calypso's parents and sense of humor that save her from utter humiliation.

I've just finished Tyne O'Connell's hilarious new teen book and it had me in stitches from the second page. It's about a group of posh girls at boarding school having a total scream of a time mixing it up with Royals and getting up to all sorts of outrageous things when they can get away with it. eg smuggling vodka in in body shop bottles (after they've emptied out the shampoo). Full of larger than life characters from the sweet heroin Calypso Kelly to the vicious anti girlfriend Honey O'Hare. Plus there are the teachers, the Nuns, the fencing matches, the Royal Snogs, the Media Hype and the rest of it.

I thought it was going to be a chick lit book like Tyne's others, I hadn't realised it was for kids at first. I'll definitely be buying copies for all my neices. Top stuff!

Forget the rest - Calypso is the best - this a a classic Cinderella tale set in a posh English boarding school - our heroine Calypso is an outsider being american in a new school - But when she happens to encounter Prince Freddie, Dashing heir to the throne, everything is turned upside down into a truly riveting, hilarious, page turning mess! The Characters are well formed and relatable, the comic twists are, as advertised, lighting fast, and thrown into this mix are adorable rabbits, cute nuns, evil mega-toffs, deadly sabre duels, and insane ageing rockstars - to list but a handful of this awesome reads ingradiants - 11 out of 10 from this girl!!!

I can't help but think that this book is far too over the top in both its characters and plot. The main character, Calypso, starts off as a quiet, unpopular outsider at St Augustine's Boarding School for Ladies who you can sympathise with, but changes almost overnight into this unbelievable It-Girl who I really didn't like. All the characters are pretty much exactly the same and very exaggerated and annoying, and I'm sure that most teenage girls (like me) would find them impossible to relate to.
When I'd finished reading this book I couldn't help but wonder why I'd bothered because it was very predictible and there was no twist whatsoever.
