Cordelia Codd

One day, I, Cordelia Codd, will be glamorous. I will take taxis everywhere and have an absurd-looking little dog, and Wednesdays will be manicure day. But for now I'm stuck with a totally unglamorous school bus chauffeur, two mean ex-best friends, a 50 percent reduction in parents, and cat-litter Fridays. Did I tell you how utterly ridiculous my life is? A glimpse into the hilarious misadventures of the captivating Cordelia Codd.

One day, I, Cordelia Codd, am going to be the greatest costume designer in the history of cinema. I will live in exotic places, have fabulous friends and spend my days relaxing at the spa. But for now I'm stuck in the DULLEST village on planet Earth, with a best friend a quillion-trillion miles away, not-quite-together parents, a pretend boyfriend/supposed thief/real bully shield, and an epic war with the most unfriendly girl in the universe. Whoever said "tomorrow is another day" hasn't lived a day in my life....

One day, I, Cordelia Codd, will be a world-famous fashion designer.

The third and final instalment in the hilariously haphazard life of Cordelia Codd, from the author of Not Just the Blues and Frankly, Ruby, I Don't Give a Damn.
