Bromley Girls

Itâ€™s 1955 and fourteen-year-old Emily Winterâ€™s promising start at Bromley, a posh, academically-challenging Manhattan girlsâ€™ school, threatens to turn sour when her new friend Phoebe Barrett joins an anti-Semitic club founded by the popular and snobby Cressida Whitcroft.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â But how can Emily stay angry with Phoebe, who shares Emilyâ€™s fascination with knights and the Middle Ages, when Phoebe has put herself on a dangerously stringent diet and is sinking into an ever-deeper obsession with losing weight?
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â In a story about the search for identity and the triumph of friendship over bigotry, Emily discovers a knack for leadership as she copes with Phoebeâ€™s snubs, a newborn brother, a know-it-all classmate addicted to true-love magazines, a whiz kid who thinks heâ€™s James Dean, a fifteen-year-old fencer with an intriguing scar, and a surprise assignment that brings everyone together. Will the Bromley girls rise above their prejudice? Will Emily and Phoebe be best friends again?
