Customer Reviews

great cheer-up book

Soooo good! when you think your life is bad.. ya ya.. take some tips for rolling with the punches from Pippa, the heroine. Talk about hilarious misadventures. And you thought only people who weren't rich had problems. When things get low, it's really the pits, but Pippa just goes with the flow and ends up in yet another adventure. Delightful read. Definitely in my 'reread' pile. Thanks for this lovely book :)

Great read!

I really liked this book. I agree with the other reviewer...it was "laugh out loud funny!". The entire wedding fiasco was hilarious. I couldn't wait to find out what happened. I found myself sneaking a few pages whenever I could. Every new school was a hysterical escapade, which wound down to a great ending. I recommend it. It was very enjoyable.

Great read

I was looking for something to read on a 5 hour flight to CA. A friend recommended this book to me. I'm so glad she did. The book is laugh out loud funny. (litterally, I was laughing out loud on the plane). The enitre wedding descriptions were hysterical. Each new school is an adventure in itself. The whole book was great. It kept my attention (which is hard to do). I finally finished it on my return from CA. I couldn't wait to find out what happened. I definitely recommend this.

A Hilarious Fun Read!

School of Fortune is such a cute and funny story. I have never before been so tickled with a book . With each new school that Pippa Walker attends comes amazingly witty encounters with some amusing characters. If you are looking for a laugh, this book will definitely give it to you!
