Une collection donnant à suivre les aventures que partagent Charlotte, Katie, Daisy, Alice, Sophie et Émilie dans l'enceinte de la prestigieuse Princesse Academy, une institution pour princesses modèles. Les héroïnes se partagent la narration, levant le voile sur les cours (dragonologie, haute couture royale, cuisine fine, sortilèges appliqués, maintien et élégance, etc.), les moments de complicité, les rivalités entre les diverses "chambres" (l'équivalent des "maisons" de Harry Potter), les bals, les voeux réalisés par Marraine Fée (l'enchanteresse et intendante de l'établissement), l'austérité de la directrice, le stress lié à l'obtention des Points Diadème (qui sont gages de bonne conduite, donnent droit à des privilèges et permettent aux étudiantes d'accéder à un niveau d'enseignement supérieur), les tenues, etc. -- De nombreuses aquarelles, campant les héroïnes (émules de "Barbie") dans un univers rose bonbon tout à fait stéréotypé, agrémentent cette première lecture dont la couverture est ornée d'étoiles argentées.

For as long as she can remember, twelve-year-old Emily Windsnap has lived on a boat. And, oddly enough, for just as long, her mother has seemed anxious to keep her away from the water. But when Mom finally agrees to let her take swimming lessons, Emily makes a startling discovery - about her own identity, the mysterious father she's never met, and the thrilling possibilities and perils shimmering deep below the water's surface. With a sure sense of suspense and richly imaginative details, first-time author Liz Kessler lures us into a glorious undersea world where mermaids study shipwrecks at school and Neptune rules with an iron trident - an enchanting fantasy about family secrets, loyal friendship, and the convention-defying power of love.
It's nearly the end of the year, and Princess Emily is worried that she hasn't earned enough tiara points to get her silver sash and go to the Silver Ball. Hopefully horrible Princess Diamonde won't spoil everything.
Imaginez une île aux plages de sable fin, entourée d’une mer d’un bleu scintillant et recouverte de palmiers, où humains et sirènes vivent en harmonie… Bienvenue chez Emily Claquevent qui, du haut de ses 12 ans, peut se transformer en sirène dès que ses jambes touchent l’eau. Alors qu’elle explore son nouveau chez-elle, elle réveille un monstre légendaire : le Kraken ! Oups… Toute l’île est en danger, et l’horrible créature commence à attaquer les bateaux aux alentours. Emily n’a plus le choix ; elle doit réparer son erreur, quitte à mettre sa vie en danger !
Wanted: One young woman to take care of four-year-old boy. Must be cheerful, enthusiastic and selfless--bordering on masochistic. Must relish sixteen-hour shifts with a deliberately nap-deprived preschooler. Must love getting thrown up on, literally and figuratively, by everyone in his family. Must enjoy the delicious anticipation of ridiculously erratic pay. Mostly, must love being treated like fungus found growing out of employers Hermès bag. Those who take it personally need not apply. Who wouldn't want this job? Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic studio apartment, Nanny takes a position caring for the only son of the wealthy X family. She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved to ensure that a Park Avenue wife who doesn't work, cook, clean, or raise her own child has a smooth day. When the X's' marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny ends up involved way beyond the bounds of human decency or good taste. Her tenure with the X family becomes a nearly impossible mission to maintain the mental health of their four-year-old, her own integrity and, most importantly, her sense of humor. Over nine tense months, Mrs. X and Nanny perform the age-old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude. Written by two former nannies, The Nanny Diaries deftly punctures the glamour of Manhattan's upper class.
