Amy X and The Prim & Proper Princess School

The King's Academy for Personal Excellence on the island of Pompolonia is a remarkable school, not only because it is the least accessible in the world but also because it can boast a perfect 100% exam rate. Most Pompolonians learn bottle making at Pomp Comp but those destined for higher things can enjoy the finest education money can buy at 'The KAPE'.This term, a new student will be inducted. Amy X has been awarded a scholarship by the Queen to make up for the events of last year. The KAPE's Headmistress is aghast. 
The students are aghast. Even her friends at Pomp Comp are aghast. Amy has been searching for answers her whole life. She is about to discover that all knowledge comes at a price – especially to those who can least afford it. SHORT-LISTED for The Story For Children Competition – Wells Festival of Literature 2017
