Calypso Chronicles

review 1: The Calypso Chronicles is a series of four books written by Tyne O’Connell with the assistance of teens from Eton and St Mary’s Ascot. While inspired on the life and pupils in these two schools the characters and stories are entirely fictional. The books are published by Bloomsbury USA and Piccadilly Press in the UKThe books are set in England between the fictional all girl’s boarding school of St Augustine’s and the all boys boarding school of Eades in Royal Berkshire, where everyone is titled (the Horrible Hon.’s) or rich in a terribly grand, “its so common to talk about wealth” sort of way. These are the daughters of royalty, rock stars, super celebrities and international world leaders all living together, carrying out dorm raids, secret escapes for midni... moreght feasts, posting YouTube clips, updating their Facebook pages creating sensational headlines and manipulating the media. These books are like being told a naughty secret – like living within the pages of Hello, OK and Grazia magazine for the teen set.Calypso Kelly, stands out for lots of reasons. Firstly she’s “po” (poor) by St Augustine’s standards as her parents are successful writers in Hollywood and while that might make her well off by average standards it marks her as common at a school where everyone is the son or daughter of aristocrats, celebrities or the Good & the Great. So it’s no wonder Calypso feels like a fish out of water.This is one of four Young Adult Fiction Romantic Comedy books following the life of Calypso Kelly at an all girls British Boarding School.“Funny exposé of It-girlschool life.” ELLE GIRL UK“Bridget Jones for the early teen set.”- WASHINGTON POST USA“Budding Anglophiles ….will soak up the flood of upper-class British culture in this book. Fans of Cecily von Ziegesar’s “Gossip Girl” series and Zoey Dean’s “A-List” series (both Little, Brown) should enjoy it”.– WASHINGTON COUNTY COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SERVICES Give this to fans of Princess Mia and Georgia Nicholson as well as to readers of O’Connell’s previous Pulling Princes (2004). BOOKLIST, USAIt is sure to have fans of the previous novels rolling on the floor laughing their royal crowns off. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, USA“Outrageously funny and a serious contender for the teen chick-lit throne.” — THE BOOKSELLER on Pulling Princes.“A right royal read” THE MAYFAIR TIMES
review 2: This book was interesting throughout the whole body, but I highly disagree with the ending, that was so sudden and illogical all of a sudden. That is the only reason I just gave the book a 3. It's about this girl from LA named Calypso, and she moved to Britain, where she studies at a private school, has her friends and boyfriend, and her life seems just fine, except for very minor daily problems. One day, however, her mother moves out of their house in LA because of his dad's Opus, or the 'Big One'and the mother comes to spend some time with her daughter. However, it all makes this whole mess of misunderstandings each leading to another, and Calypse begins to have a hard time with it. less
