There's a little something for everybody here, and this is the most detailed guide you will find to the city.

Octavia's credentials are fine (a sitcom-star mum, a film-director dad), but she's never fitted in at Darlinham House School, where the kids of the super-rich and famous go to get educated (if you can call tai-chi and Sanskrit an education.) It's hard enough for Octavia to avoid the pygmy blondes (India, Asia, China, and Twinkle), without having to deal with her mother too, who can't wait to see Octavia with the right guy, at the right party, in the right magazine. Can a D-list disaster like Octavia ever become an A-list glamour girl? And will the cost be worth it?
