Product Description

Fiona Blount lives by one rule: Remain anonymous and nothing bad can happen to you. But these days, Fiona can't avoid the spotlight. Because crazy things just happen around her, and suddenly everyone's looking her way—including her London school's resident mean girl and Fiona's supersecret crush. As if growing up isn't already confusing, dealing with the fact that she now has the power of mind control is enough to push any fourteen-year-old girl over the edge! Could this newly discovered talent have anything to do with possibly locating her long-lost father? And will she be able to stop tripping her archenemy with her mind?

Fiona might be a little clueless and a lot confused, but she's totally entertaining and way more than almost fabulous!

ALMOST FABULOUS by Michelle Radford is a cute and fun book about mind powers, long-lost fathers, and growing up.

Fiona Blount makes it a point to stay anonymous at all times to avoid the cruel, popular girls. However, one day Fiona wakes up to find that she has the power to control people's minds, and discovers that she might have inherited this power from her missing father, a successful businessman.

Along with these crazy events, the usually quiet Fiona is becoming more and more popular. Will she win over her secret, amazingly cute crush, Joe? Will she learn how to control her mind powers before she does some serious damage? Will she finally meet her father?

ALMOST FABULOUS is a different type of book that incorporates a lot of British culture (due to the author's British heritage). It's a fun summer read that allows you to wonder, "what if I could control people's minds?" It's witty, charming, and definitely more than almost fabulous.
