I can't stand that lady. She has guts to sell a kid book, and saying she won't let their children to see what she did when she was performing. What a hypocrite!

Camille Paglia said that the entire plot of Madonna's book was about how her daughter's classmates were so mean to Lourdes because her daughter's so beautiful. Talk about making your kid a target for life!

well, Camille got it wrong.. it is not about her daughter.. she took influences from her children and her own experiences to write the lovely lil book.

~~~ The English Roses is a story of rivalry and friendship among schoolgirls in contemporary London. Four little girls-Nicole, Amy, Charlotte, and Grace-are eleven years old and the very best of friends. They have sleepovers, picnics and ice-skating parties that exclude Binah, a beautiful girl whose seemingly perfect life makes them "green with envy." However, when a feisty, pumpernickel-loving fairy godmother takes them on a magical journey, they learn to their great surprise that Binah's life is not nearly as enviable as it had seemed. The English Roses is an inspiring story about the importance of compassion and the rewards of friendship.
