"It's 1953, and teenage Anita Weatherby and her family have just moved to a booming postwar London. While her older sister settles right in, to the delight of their parents, Anita finds their new school-and her academic rival, Roger Radcliffe-daunting. Nothing seems to be going Anita's way until a glamorous, confident new student moves to town. Stella De Vil is haughty and aloof-but surprises everyone by taking an immediate liking to Anita. Swept into the luxurious world of Stella's highend family fashion label, Anita soon finds herself the anticipated star of the House of De Vil's next fashion show, where she'll be modelling a family heirloom, the Weatherby diamond, and walking the catwalk with two adorable Dalmatian puppies to raise awareness for a local animal shelter. But when disaster strikes and the Weatherby diamond goes missing, Anita will have to decide whom she can trust before her life goes to the dogs."--Publisher.
