Chips, Beans and Limousines Summary

Chips, Beans and Limousines by Leila Rasheed

Dear New Diary,

I have a surprise for you. It is a BIG surprise. So, are you sitting down? No, you are lying flat on my desk while I write in you. Obviously. Okay, just breathe deeply, and try to stay calm.

The hand that is writing in you now, belongs to... Bathsheba Clarice de Trop!!! Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!!!

Bet you never thought you'd belong to a celebrity, did you?

Bathsheba Clarice de Trop's life is so super starry. Or is it?

Chips, Beans and Limousines Reviews

This is an absorbing, insightful read with lots of 'in between the lines' information showing more of the real girl than she knows herself. * Primary Times *
Very funny and thoughtful Bath ... is a character you won't forget. * The School Librarian journal *
Bathsheba Clarice de Trop thinks she's a star. Well, her mum is a world-famous novelist whose books are all about the amazing adventures of her fabulous daughter, and of course the stories must be true. But when Bathsheba is confronted by her down-and-out father, and discovers that her role in the fantastic new Bathsheba film will be played by hot US actress Avocado Dieppe, she has to face reality. She might not be as famous as she liked to think, but maybe she can still be a star in her own right. * Bookbabblers - book of the month *
Bathsheba is a bit stupid, a brat and spoiled but despite that I did kind of like her. She is funny. I am still not sure if she is in her own fantasy world or if she is just lying to her own diary. * Sarah Garrity, Gracemount High - Reviewed in Teen Titles, issue 42, September 2008 *
Highly recommended for younger readers by the Red House Children's Book Award 2009 in their pick of the year. Our testers loved dipping into child celebrity Bathsheba Clarice de Trop's diary and reading all about her incredibly glamorous lifestyle. But are her super shopping trips, fantastic friends and amazing holidays too good to be true? * Red House Children's Book Award pick of the year - highly recommended *
