That is a brilliant book - it's so funny!
And Im of the opinion that anything that makes a child read, considering the falling standards in literacy, can only be a good thing.

as long as they dont aspire to it then it'll be ok!

They look really funny, having read the reviews may order them for my DD.

Well the synopsis makes me smirk. And I probably would put my judgy pants on for anyone who actually bought it for their daughter...

But have to agree, if it gets a reluctant reader to pick up a book (especially one whose life isn't all ponies and private school), then it's done its job!

DD2 bought that book as going away gifts when we left Essex. They were very well received.
