As the opening page of Madonna's latest book states, if you haven't heard of the English Roses by now, then you must have been living on the moon! So, let me fill you in. The English Roses are five girls named Nicole, Amy, Charlotte, Grace and Binah. They are best friends and do everything together - from dancing and homework, to skating, picnics and sleepover parties.

That is, they were best friends until handsome, charming Dominic arrived in class. Now friendship counts for nothing as the girls desperately fight for his attention. Luckily, a quirky teacher, Miss Fluffernutter, and a pumpernickel-loving Fairy Godmother step in to save the day and the English Roses' friendship.
