Life is boring for Prudence King, she doesn’t go to school, she has no freedom whatsoever, and she has to wear home-made clothes made from disgusting things like carbets and curtains.
However, when the man comes to the door demanding the girls get an education and Prue’s dad lets her get a maths tutor, to Prue it’s the perfect chance to go shopping. First she bought all of the art things she could, a giant chocolate bunny for Grace (her younger sister) and then she buys herself a lacy set of underwear. However, Prue’s dad soon finds out and demands to know what Prue spent the money on. However, as Prue throws the underwear at him in a rage, his head hits the table and he is unconcious. They called an ambulance and soon found out that he has had a stroke.
Life is spiralling downwards for Prue – however, her mother then decides that they must go to school. Dreaming up an all girls school round the corner of the house. Never the less, Prue and Grace have to go to Wentworth, the rough school around the block. They can not afford the uniform so they have to go in their ridiculous dresses.
However things go worse for Prue. She has never talked to a girl her age so she puts on her treasured underwear for good luck. Unfortunately P.E is the first lesson, and she has to get changed in front of ALL the other girls. The whole day spirals even further down as she under stands nothing and nobody likes her. The other days are just as bad for her except now she has to visit her dad in hospital everyday too.
Her days, however, are soon brightened up by art and the gorgeous art teacher Rax (or Mr Raxberry). After a few weeks, Rax asks Prue to babysit. And Prue begins to fall in love with Rax. Will they be found out? Does he feel the same way about her?
