Gemma is not a happy girl... she's been sent away to boarding school and she misses her old mates. As an outgoing Gemini, friendship is top of her list but she's stuck with a shy mouse for a roommate and a school bully who is out to get her. Life looks bleak until she's chosen as a Zodiac Girl. But will Gemma make the right choices to find new friends? Ever turned to your horoscope for help in a difficult time? Well, Zodiac Girls have something even better - when their stars are in lucky alignment they get a cool mobile and personal guidance from the planets themselves! But it's not as easy as it sounds - it's up to each girl to make the most of her month as a Zodiac Girl. This work is launched with "Recipe for Rebellion". "Brat Princess" and "Nickynonames" follow in Oct 07. Gemma is upset when her parents send her to a top boarding school using some recently-received inheritance money. She will have to leave her brilliant, close-knit group of friends behind. Early days at school are very tough, her roommate Ruth is chronically shy and the school bully Sara seems to have taken against Gemma.
