As days pass she realises that the only way for to have a chance to win is to be coached by a winner.. Toff.
First of all I was just not the target audience for this book clearly. It's written for a younger audience, and if I read it when I was in high school or a little younger I would have probabl been obsseced with it. It's well written, easy to read and to follow. It's full of references to popular book that all bookworm know about. The plit is great too, there is a real story and goal that drives the characters together, it's well paced. But I'm just too old for it.
