Playing with the Grown-ups cover

Novelist, international supermodel and grand-daughter of Roald Dahl, Sophie's media profile grows bigger and bigger London Underground 12 sheets will captivate the summer reads market, as will advertising in magazines such as Grazia and across the London press including the Evening Standard Magazine With an enchanting new paperback look, Playing with the Grown-ups is the perfect summer read for fans of Hideous Kinky, I Capture the Castle, How I Live Now and Brother of the More Famous Jack

The first full-length novel from the international supermodel and granddaughter of Roald DahlKitty's mother, Marina, is both utterly beguiling and terrifyingly embarrassing, and more often than not Kitty can only gaze on her antics with awe and toe-curling trepidation. But as Kitty grows up it becomes clear that perhaps Marina isn't the most exemplary of parents, and that sometimes a girl might have to put herself first. Sophie Dahl writes with a keen eye, a warm heart and wonderful lyricism about a coming-of-age that's quite unlike any other.
