About this listen

In this delightfully zany yet heartwarming novel, a young girl and her friends take Paris by storm.

Edie Berger is a prankster, the daughter of activists, and a revolutionary in her own right. Paris is Edie's home and her favorite place in the world. But when her parents decide to travel the globe fighting for good causes, Edie is left in the care of Odette, her strict grandmother—and, ultimately, shipped off to boarding school in England.

A school trip finds Edie back in the streets of Paris, exploring with her friends and forced to confront the grandmother who sent her away. But is there more to Odette than Edie realizes? Featuring madcap adventures, pastries, macarons, an intrepid army of first-years, a secret underground network of nuns, a truly excellent art heist, and lots of bravery, this is a story about loving with your whole heart and standing up for what you believe in.

Love these books

The How to Be stories are just wonderful for young and old! I think people underestimate how applicable ‘middle grade’ stories are to all reader groups, there are so many little details in here for older readers to enjoy and pursue more information on, while younger readers will feel all the laughs, joy, love and deliciousness of this mystery peppered with tasty patisserie treats. Daisy May Johnson writes like a Wes Anderson film, her descriptions of spaces and places are tightly packed with everything you imagined would be there in your favourite dreams and most nostalgic memories, Paris is more Paris than it could possible be in this story! There is ironic hilarious dialogue to steer you through the plot twists and turns, and it’s all underpinned by a tender respect for history, humanity and what it’s like to be a young girl - something that is very unique to her writing style. I highly recommend this title and the others in the series.
