Book Description
Calypso is the school misfit. She's been packed off to St. Augustine's boarding school for Ladies by her parents in America. 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, like Honey O'Hare and her clique, are making Calypso's life miserable. She starts the summer term of Year Ten determined to change all that - to launch Operation Cool. She plans to reinvent herself as a new worldly-wise and experienced-with-the-boys Calypso. The results are unexpected, effective and very entertaining, especially when Calypso receives some royal attention...
