Synopsis:


At Bagley Hall, a notoriously wild, but increasingly academic, independent, crammed with the children of the famous, trouble is afoot. The ambitious and fatally attractive headmaster, Hengist Brett-Taylor, hatches a plan to share the facilities of his school with Larkminster Comprehensive - known locally, as 'Larks'. His reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save what is a fast-sinking school from closure. Janna is young, pretty, enthusiastic and vastly brave - and she will do anything to rescue her demoralised, run-down and cash-strapped school.

Neither parents nor staff of either school are too keen on this radical move, although some can see the possible financial advantages. For the students, however, it offers great opportunities to get up to even more mayhem than usual.

About the Author: Jilly Cooper is a journalist, writer and media star in Britain, and the author of many bestselling novels including Riders, Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, and Pandora.

Condition: Used. Welcome to the dazzling, chaotic world of Jilly Cooper?s "Wicked!", where the only thing more scandalous than the plot twists is the cover art that looks like it?s been designed by a sugar-high 12-year-old. If you?ve ever wondered what it would be like to combine the thrilling drama of a soap opera with the literary finesse of a tabloid magazine, then this is the book for you! Set in a land of lavish parties, questionable fashion choices, and characters with more layers than an onion at a bad dinner party, this novel promises to deliver all the palpable tension you?d expect from a Cooper classic. In 2007, Corgi Books unleashed this literary concoction upon unsuspecting readers, and it quickly became a cult favourite among those who appreciate the fine art of melodrama. You know, the kind of readers who relish the idea of sipping tea while sneering at the characters? life choices?because who wouldn?t want to judge fictional people from the comfort of their own armchair? "Wicked!" is the kind of book that might just inspire you to call up your old acquaintances and ask them if they?ve ever been involved in a scandal?because let?s be honest, you need some material to discuss at the next book club meeting. As you turn the pages, you?ll find yourself immersed in a world where the lines between right and wrong, love and lust, and decency and debauchery are as blurred as the ink on a manuscript left in the rain. Expect characters that might make you clutch your pearls, as they navigate the treacherous waters of social interaction. Will they betray their friends? Will they fall in love with someone entirely unsuitable? Spoiler alert: absolutely yes, and then some. Characters who make questionable life choices seem like a delightful pastime. A plot that could be described as a rollercoaster?if the rollercoaster were built by an architect who?d only ever seen one in a cartoon. More romantic entanglements than a Christmas lights display in a kerfuffle. A healthy dose of British wit that could cut through the thickest fog. Scenes so over-the-top, they may just inspire you to take up theatre. But wait, there?s more! If you act now (or, you know, just sit on your sofa contemplating the mysteries of life), you may soon find yourself entangled in the kind of drama that makes your own life look like a serene retreat in comparison. You?ll laugh, you?ll cry, and you may even contemplate your own choices, but don?t worry?this book doesn?t come with any judgement. It?s all in good fun, after all, and it knows you?re just here for the escapism. Condition: This particular copy has been read and loved, possibly by someone who perhaps should have been reading the phone book instead. Expect dog-eared pages, the occasional coffee stain as if someone sought comfort in caffeine while navigating the maelstrom of emotional conflict, and that delightful aroma of nostalgia?an olfactory reminder that it?s been around the block a few times. It?s the perfect companion for those who appreciate the nuances of a well-loved tome and aren?t afraid to wear a few signs of life on their literary selections. So, if you?re ready to embrace this chaotic cocktail of life, love, and ludicrousness, grab your copy of "Wicked!" from Crappy Old Books today. After all, it?s not just a book; it?s an experience wrapped in pages, waiting for you to uncover its many absurdities and wild escapades. Don?t let this opportunity slip through your fingers?your next guilty pleasure awaits! THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. Seller Inventory # 490
