Холли Смейл4.0 Гарриет Мэннерс - гик, и она знает много всего, например:
- С какой скоростью бьется сердце колибри
- Что такое гипервентиляция легких
- Причины Первой Мировой войны.
Но она ничего не знает о моде. Она не умеет одеваться, краситься и вообще не представляет себя в одежде, отличной от джинсов и толстовки или школьной формы. Но именно ей выпадает шанс стать новым лицом фирмы "Baylee", участвовать в модных показах и попасть на страницы культовых глянцевых журналов. Сможет ли Гарриет в одночасье превратиться из неуклюжей, неловкой девушки, над которой смеются одноклассники, в новую звезду мира моды, а главное - остаться самой собой?

On a frozen Cornish moor, a fourteen-year-old girl lives in a trailer with her dad and little brother. Ennor's mother left years ago, when things started to go wrong - and gradually their world has fallen apart. Now her father's gravely ill, school has closed, and Ennor knows they're going to take her brother away if things don't pick up soon. Days before Christmas, when the wind is cold and her dad's health takes a turn for the worse, Ennor packs a blanket, a map, a saucepan and a gun into her rucksack, and sets off to find her mum and bring her home.
Ennor thinks she knows where she's going. But this journey will change her life for ever - it becomes a battle for survival, a heartbreaking story of love and friendship, and a fable about not finding what you were looking for, but finding something more important instead . . .

Джули Мэйхью0.0 When her mother is knocked down and killed by a London bus, fifteen-year-old Melon Fouraki is left with no family worth mentioning. Her mother, Maria, never did introduce Melon to a 'living, breathing' father. The indomitable Auntie Aphrodite, meanwhile, is hundreds of miles away on a farm in Crete, and is unlikely to be jumping on a plane and coming to East Finchley anytime soon. But at least Melon has 'The Story'. 'The Story' is the Fourakis family fairytale. A story is something. "Red Ink" is a powerful coming-of-age tale about superstition, denial and family myth.
