Lauren Myracle: Incredibly Penelope, Gebunden

Klappentext

A witty and moving take on A Little Princess from an acclaimed author about the friends and family who can be found in surprising places

Penelope has been all over the globe, from the tippity top to the bottomitty bottom, traveling alongside her godmother, the super celebrity Queenie Bee. And she's done things most kids never dream of, like feeding giraffes, exploring real glaciers, and hopping from one five-star hotel to the next. But there's one thing she has never done, and she desperately wants to give it a try: go to school! So Penelope persuades her mother and godmother to let her attend Idlewild Academy for Girls. There, Penelope's charm, openness, and generosity quickly win over many of her new classmates. Although some, including sullen Dilly, think she's a snob. But when Penelope's mother and godmother go missing, her wealth goes along with them, and people start treating her differently---even cruelly. Is Penelope still special? Is she still the same person? And whatever will she do now? Celebrated author Lauren Myracle delivers a delicious update on a classic riches-to-rags story, both bubbly and poignant, in which friends and family are found in surprising places.
