Secrets at St Jude's: New Girl by Carmen Reid
Gina's mother is fed up with her staying out late, spending too much money on clothes and too much time IM-ing her friends. But her solution to sort out her wayward LA IT girl is pretty drastic - she's sending Gina to Scotland to go to the same boarding school she attended. Suddenly taken from a world of malls, mobile phones, en-suite wet-rooms, designer clothes and sophisticated boys, Gina is suddenly forced to find her way through games of hockey, communal meals and showers, horrible public schoolboys and stuffy housemistresses. Will she ever survive? Her dorm buddies might just help - they're a strange bunch but they seem to be good fun ... And there are always the boys from the local school to help keep them entertained.
A raucous, hilarious and heart-warming tale of modern boarding school life from one of the UK's bestselling authors of women's fictionPacked full of friendship, fun, entertainment, love and hope, it will have huge appeal to the early teenager . . . An addictive read * lovereading.co.uk *
