An electric new story of teenage Cruella de Vil in an original novel
inspired by the upcoming Walt Disney Studios Live Action Film,
Cruella.
Swinging London, Summer 1967. Sixteen-year-old Estella, gifted with
talent, ingenuity, and ambition, dreams of becoming a renowned fashion
designer. But life seems intent on making sure her dreams never come
true. Having arrived in London as a young girl, Estella now runs wild
through the city streets with Jasper and Horace, amateur thieves who
double as Estella's makeshift family and partners-in-(petty)-crime. How
can Estella dedicate herself to joining the ranks of the London design
elite when she's sewing endless costumes and disguises for the trio's
heists?
When a chance encounter with Magda and Richard Moresby-Plum, two young
scions of high society, vaults Estella into the world of the rich and
famous, she begins to wonder whether she might be destined for more
after all. Suddenly, Estella's days are filled with glamorous parties,
exclusive eateries, flirtations with an up-and-coming rock star, and, of
course, the most cutting-edge fashions money can buy. But what is the
true cost of keeping up with the fast crowd--and is it a price Estella
is willing to pay?
