Fifteen-year-old Ted (Edwina) is tall, awkward, and clueless about clothes but has nevertheless been scouted by a top London modeling agency. Meanwhile, her gorgeous older sister, Ava, is diagnosed with lymphoma. Readers get an inside look at the modeling industry through Ted's earnest eyes, but equally compelling is Bennett's portrait of a family using love and humor to cope with serious illness.

When fashion-minded Nonie meets Crow, she recognizes the twelve-year-old Ugandan girl's gift for design. With aid from family and friends--including a supermodel and a famous actress--Nonie helps Crow showcase her talent with a collection at London's Fashion Week. This wish-fulfillment fantasy is a little dull (except for descriptions of the wild outfits), but the altruistic message adds heart.
