The Tall Tales of Daphne Monroe
Daphne Monroe believed her life had taken a turn for the worst when her mother passed away three years ago. But she was wrong, as nothing could have prepared her for her father's mad decision to buy a run down old pub in some seaside village an hour or so from London, taking her younger brother and their crazy Granddad Tony who still believes he is in the war, though Daphne has no idea which one, and Daphne away from their childhood home and changing her life forever. Daphne also suddenly finds herself attending an elite boarding school as a day timer, courtesy of the maternal grandparents she has never met.
There she meets Eddie, Fiona, Alex and Jade, four teenagers who will quickly become her closest friends and her guides to the world she had found herself fallen into. A world where house parties are held in country manors, teachers all have pompous public school nicknames and the students have helicopters to run them around at the weekends. It's a world where Princes and royalty are not just main figures in tabloids and imagination, but actual students alongside Daphne and her friends. And there is one in particular who has caught the eye of Daphne Monroe, Prince Théo from the year above. Swoon worthy, indeed.
Follow Daphne's journey in this bare-all novella told through her personal minute-by minute-diary, her very thought process, with no holds barred in regards to humour, emotion, friendship and love as she tries to navigate this new world in front of her.
