Geek Girl
Everyone at school knows Harriet Manners is a geek - she's always spouting random facts, has zero fashion sense and can often be found in a tangled heap on the floor after falling over. At least she has aspiring model and fashion addict best friend Nat to keep her sane.
But when Harriet accompanies Nat to the Clothes Show Live as a favour and is spotted by a top modelling agency, she has to choose between the reinvention, which she knows will change her life at school, and stealing her best friend's dream...
Events in the book are loosely based on author Holly Smale's real-life experience of modelling, which makes Harriet's struggle to accept herself in the face of bullies all the more touching. Not only that, the writing is genuinely funny and the facts littered throughout will appeal to all the real life geek girls.
Geek Girl is a hilarious and engaging read which is sure to appeal to girls and boys who enjoy warm and funny stories about relationships.
