New Diary of a Snob series from bestselling author Grace Dent 
(03/07/2009)
Diary of a Snob Poor Little Rich Girl is the latest book by Grace Dent, which introduces Miss Poppet Montague-Jones, a new teenage heroine to die for. Poppet Montague-Jones is 15, 87th in line to the British throne and about to inherit an enormous trust fun. Unlike her wayward big sister Kitten, paparazzi princess and IT girl about London Town, Poppet is a troubled teenager, trying to make sense of the world.
Poppet spends a lot of her time day-dreaming and being bossed around by her flamboyant school friends, the gorgeous Vixen Blaize Brocklehurst and wild-child Striker Earhart. Together, the girls cause chaos at their school – The Hampstead Lycée, and in their stinkingly rich ‘hood’, without giving much though to their futures. They are rich, so who cares!
Poppet’s jet-setting mother, Jocasta, has some shady plans of her own and her sights set on Poppet’s marriage to nice, loaded Felix Hayes-Burlington who lives across the road. The problem is that Poppet doesn’t know what she wants. Surely there must be more to life than charity lunches and yoga? Is Poppet brave enough to break away from her chaotic and privileged life and shape her own destiny?
Grace Dent is one of the hottest names in teen fiction right now. Her Diary of a Chav series has sold over 270,000 copies. Grace says: ‘I’ve cajoled kids who claim to have never read anything longer than a text message into reading three entire novels and nagging for the fourth. This makes me insanely proud.’
