Boys, Brits, and Boarding School!

Returning from her Easter Break in California, fourteen year old Calypso thought of all the variables in her plan to reinvent herself as cool. "But I hadn't considered the possibility that I would be forced to share a dorm room with The Honourable Georgina Castle Orpington. " 'Oh great, I'm with the American freak,' I heard her whisper to Honey O'Hare, one of her cool clique friends." On Calypso's list for being cool was hooking up with ("pulling") a hot guy. To this end she has already enlisted the help of her mother's gay personal assistant, Jay. Calypso's plan works extremely well…too well? Only if you don't believe in fairy tales. Tyne O'Connell has written a fast-paced, enormously funny novel about today's upper crust boarding schools, friendships, anxieties and first boyfriends. Her ear for the language and habits of boarding school culture is impeccable. Tyne is a fresh sassy new voice for teenage fiction.
