 Nonie loves fashion, Jenny is in a famous movie with the latest Hollywood heart-throb, and Edie wants to change the world. and then they meet Crow, a pretty little refugee girl wearing stranger clothes than even Nonie, and sketching a dress. Suddenly, their world is turned upside down as the little girl turns out to be as good a fashion designer as you get, at the tender age of ten. But Crow has had a tragic upbringing, a night-walker, an invisible child, walking to safety, a town miles away, each night to escape from the adults which capture children to use as child-soldiers and worse... Can all of their dreams come true? Can Nonie become an assistant to a famous fashion-designer? Can Jenny catch the eye of her famous co-actor? Can Edie change the world for the better? And can Crow make it in the world of fashion, and find her brother Henry, taken by soldiers back in Africa?
This book was amazing, I couldn't put it down. My only criticism was that it was quite predictable. I also didn't like Jenny.
9/10
