For anyone who loved St Trinian's - old or new - or loves a cozy mystery on a grand estate filled with rather 'interesting' characters. Gemma Lamb is ready for an uneventful term at St Bride's, she's had enough of dastardly deeds and sinister strangers. However, she's barely back at school before: Unlucky in love Oriana is sneaking around at odd hours Handsome Joe is keeping secrets Militant Mavis feels a scandal is brewing It's all a bit much, so when a stranger appears, Gemma thinks she's had enough. But this stranger isn't so sinister, instead he looks rather too familiar. If Gemma can't get him away from the school the whispers and scandal his presence could unleash may just close St Bride's doors for good. Gemma's joined forces with her colleagues to save the school in the past, but this time she's going to have to do it on her own . . .

Cynthia Kaplan takes us on a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking journey through her unique, uncensored world--her bungled romantic encounters and unsung theatrical experiences; her gadget-obsessed father, her pill-popping therapist, and her eccentric grandmothers; her fearless husband, whom she engages in an ongoing battle over which of them is the most popular person in their apartment; and, of course, her vengeful, power-hungry one-year-old son.

Kaplan's voice is a lot like the one in our heads--the one that most of us are only willing to listen to late at night . . . maybe while locked in a closet. What a relief it is that someone finally admits that she is afraid of nearly everything; that she is jealous even of people whose lives are on the verge of collapse; and that she has, at times, tried to pass for a gentile.

Has this ever happened to you? You're reading Romeo and Juliet but you keep getting frustrated because there's no bank heists and barely any surfing. You're halfway through watching Point Break on your laptop when you slam it shut, shouting "this doesn't even rhyme!" You're trying to hold a copy of a Shakespeare play and your Point Break DVD in the same hand so you can pick up a cup of coffee with your other hand but they don't fit together and they slip out of your hand so you try to catch them with your other hand but that spills coffee all over your white t-shirt and the play and the DVD and the cup hit your toe and you cry out in pain but then you glance at the title of the play and it's Much Ado About Nothing which just adds insult to injury so you throw your head to the heavens and scream "there has to be a better way!" Well now there is. Point Break and Shakespeare, together at last.
