About This Book
The 'Zodiac Girls' series introduces readers to a new protagonist in each book, typically a middle-school girl grappling with common tween issues like fitting in, making friends, or dealing with family expectations. When chosen as a 'Zodiac Girl', she gains special powers linked to her astrological sign, which she must learn to harness to overcome her challenges. It's a blend of contemporary school drama with a light touch of magical realism, offering empowering stories about self-discovery, resilience, and the importance of friendship. Parents will appreciate the underlying messages of personal growth and responsibility, wrapped in an engaging, fast-paced narrative.
Leonora is a rich, pampered princess - she loves to be the centre of attention and to have her own way. Her parents have had enough of her behaviour and decide that it's time for some tough love: Leonora is going to brat camp. She's got to mend her ways and become the angel her parents always hoped for! But when Leonora is picked to be a Zodiac Girl the planetary powers take over - and they mean to get results!
