Etiquette and Espionage Number 1 in series

<p>It''s one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It''s quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to finishing school.<br><br>Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners-and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine''s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. <br><br>But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine''s young ladies learn to finish . . . everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage - in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year''s education.</p>
