Synopsis
Leonora is a self-centred, fourteen year-old diva-with-attitude - her mum and dad are extremely wealthy and indulge her constantly. Leonora's private jet touches down but not in Paris as planned. She throws a mega-strop when the pilot won't tell her where she is. It turns out she has been sent to boot camp by her parents. Leonora throws her biggest fit ever. This is the second worst time of her life - the worst being when her younger sister Poppy died. Her guardian is the glamorous Mr O who tells her she has also been made a Zodiac Girl. He introduces her to her campmates (whom she scorns) and the other planets-in-human-form who staff theboot camp. Being a massively wilful Leo, Leonora lasts a couple of weeks in the strict regime without budging an inch. Her stubbornness ruins the plans for a huge camp graduation BBQ ceremony. Leonora is shown a video of herself with Poppy when they were younger - she longs to be back there. Leonora is asked if she was happy then, is she happy now? Leonora is shocked at the answer. Then she has to role playthe part of her mother whilst a fellow camper plays her, Leonora. The penny drops that the world doesn't actually revolve around her. She goes about making amendswith her campmates and helps them out financially too - but her biggest reward is realizing she should stop blaming herself for her sister's death and stop putting up aggressive barriers to the world so she doesn't have to deal with her own feelings.Book Details
