Harriet Manners doesn’t hide it: “My name is Harriet Manners, and I am a geek.” Harriet knows that a cat has 32 muscles in each ear, that a “jiffy” lasts 1/100th of a second, and that the average person laughs 15 times a day. She knows bats always turn left when leaving a cave, and that peanuts are one of the ingredients in dynamite. What she doesn’t know is why nobody at school seems to like her. So when a top model agent spots her, Harriet seizes the chance to reinvent herself – even if that means stealing her best friend’s dream, incurring the wrath of arch enemy Alexa, and repeatedly humiliating herself in front of impossibly handsome model Nick. Even if it means lying to the people she loves. Lurching from one couture disaster to the next, with the help of her overly enthusiastic father and her uber-geeky stalker Toby, Harriet slowly realises that the fashion world likes her no better than the real one ever did. As her old life starts to crumble, can she transform herself before everything falls apart? The award-winning debut from bestselling author Holly Smale.
