Publisher Description:

Twelve year old Amanda should be the happiest girl in the world. She is the daughter of wealthy, successful parents, lives in a six bed-roomed mansion and attends a prestigious private college.

What more could she ask for?

However, Amanda is beseiged with problems. She is lonely, 'fat and frumpy', suffers from depression and has low self-esteem. BUT, her biggest fear is of Cassandra and her gang of bullies who torment her every waking hour.

The catalyst in the story enters in the form of Emma, a paraplegic girl, gifted with a marvellous singing voice. Then enters the Fairy Godmother, Amanda's grandmother, who grants Amanda's greatest wish.

Follow Amanda's journey from 'poor little rich girl' to realising her dreams.

Amanda's story is one of empowerment. Her story opens up possibilities to discuss the many topics which are important to our young people of today or it can be read purely for enjoyment.
