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.
