In this book, Alice-Miranda in Paris, Alice-Miranda
and her friends from Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale, and the boys from Fayle School
for Boys go to Paris to sing at a few fashion week events. A group of teachers
travel with them to Paris. Catastrophe strikes when a very unique fabric goes
missing from a famous fashion designer. This becomes part of a mystery.
Famous fashion designers are
all getting ready for the show that is taking place in just a matter of days. They
make the most of their visit by seeing the Eiffel Tower and many other places
around Paris. A young boy from Fayle School named Sep sees a child in a window.
The boy looks sadly at Sep who gets curious and wants to find out more about
the boy. Alice-Miranda and all the other children perform as a choir at two of
the fashion shows and at the fashion week mass.
Her mother surprises her
when she shows up at her performances. At the time of the fashion show
Alice-Miranda realizes there is a dark side to some fashion designers. Is
someone out to ruin fashion week? As she is a nice and intelligent person, she knows
exactly what to do. This turns out to be a bit of an adventure for her.
This is a very interesting
story that relates to other little girls that are intelligent, nice and confident.
I enjoyed this book and wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to
happen next. It was a great read and other girls will also enjoy reading it. I
hope!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jacqueline Harvey is married to Ian – who she says is the most amazing husband and frequently
comes up with great ideas for her writing and she has a
stepdaughter, Olivia. Until the end of October 2012 Jacqueline
worked full time as the Director of Development at Abbotsleigh,
a school for girls in Sydney where she used to be Deputy Head of the Junior
School. She has now taken the brave and scary leap to become a full time
author and is available for school visits, teacher inservice and other speaking
engagements.
Jacqueline has always loved
writing and has kept diaries for many years (which she says should
definitely be destroyed before anyone else has a chance to read them). Inspired
by her students, she would often write poems and stories for her classes
and always hoped that one day she would be published.
Jacqueline enjoys playing
golf, reading, travelling and eating out. She likes writing her books
somewhere with a view of the sea.
