内容简介 Meet Nancy, who believes that more is ALWAYS better when it comes to being fancy. From the top of her tiara down to her sparkly studded shoes, Nancy is determined to teach her family a thing or two about being fancy. How Nancy transforms her parents and little sister for one enchanted evening makes for a story that is funny and warm -- with or without the frills.
作者简介 New York Times bestselling author Jane O'Connor started writing Dangerous Admissions, just published in August of 2007, after she and her husband dropped their younger son off at his freshman dorm. With the excruciating process of applying to college finally over, an idea popped into her head to write a comic mystery set at a high-pressure Manhattan private school (much like the one both her boys attended) where the college admissions officer is found dead. Dangerous Admissions is the first adult novel from a writer of more than thirty books for children, including the insanely popular Fancy Nancy books (all HarperCollins). The first book, Fancy Nancy, has remained on the New York Times picture book list for ninety-eight weeks. Although she finds writing for adults infinitely harder, O'Connor says that at least she had the fun and novel experience of finally writing some sex scenes. Born, bred, and still living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan (where the mystery is set), O'Connor considers her husband, Jim, a relative newcomer to NYC even after thirty-five years. Three days a week, she works as an acquiring editor in the children's books division of a major New York publishing house. Empty nesters now, the O'Connors lavish an inappropriate amount of attention on a tough little mixed breed named Arrow.
