This is a lyrical and timeless story of beauty to die for. When Queen Veda sets up the Queen's Academy for Girls, the pretty students happily accept a wonder beauty pill, but Princess Ana is suspicious and, as a sinister illness sweeps the school, she must confront the truth to save her friends. Echoes of the classic fairy tale Snow White are skillfully entwined with contemporary notions of beauty and acceptance.
