Molly is bright, energetic, and has just won a scholarship to a prestigious private school in France. But her world is turned upside down by the sudden discovery that her parents are to be divorced. Believing that she can reunite the family by taking matters into her own hands, she runs away from school and becomes involved in a series of turbulent adventures. Things don't turn out quite as Molly had planned - but her experiences teach her to face the world on new, more realistic terms.

Designed to bridge the gap between children's and adult fiction, this book, is one of a series of books which aim to be dynamic and imaginative with strong characterization and fast moving plots.
