'I am NOT going to Charm School...' But Bonny has no choice. Her mother needs her to take a one-day class and Charm School is the only possibility. Bonny's not expecting to enjoy herself, but it is even worse than she could ever have imagined. Not only does she have to listen to Mrs Opalene's Helpful Handy Hits (like 'how to bleach your elbows'!), she also has to cope with the other girls - the awful, self-obsessed little princesses who really want to win the 'Glistering Tiara' and are prepared to do almost anything to get it. But Charm School will never be the same again after Bonny's day there...
