BOOKS

Meet Nonie, Edie and Jenny—the three main characters in Sophia Bennett’s Sequins, Secrets, and Silver Linings. These British best friends have totally different interests—fashion, acting and world relations, but they are brought closer together when they meet Crow, a young Ugandan refugee whom they completely misjudged. Crow wears fairy wings and seems strange, but, as the girls discover, she has an awesome knack for fashion design.

Through spending time with Crow, these buds learn that she is not just a talented fashionista living in London, but has also experienced horror and sorrow during her childhood in Africa. Crow was sent to London by her father after almost being captured and forced into slavery. After learning Crow's story, the girls work together to raise awareness for the problems in Uganda, while also indulging in her oh-so-fabulous creations.

The ladies in this fresh new read will teach you a thing or two about fashion and Hollywood, while also showing you how powerful friendship really is. You’re sure to develop a soft spot for Crow like these girls did, and through her story you will learn ways you, too, might be able to help children in similar situations around the world.
