Summary: Jess Jordan is barely 15. Fred is her often-aggravating best guy friend; her father is a lonely bachelor; Flora is her gorgeous best friend, a constant liability; and Ben Jones is barely a twinkle in her eye. Into this innocent scene are dropped 30 or so helpless French exchange students. Jess and her mother are assigned to house Eduoard, a shy, awkward, and painfully English-deprived boy Jess's age. To counter what Jess fears in Eduoard's growing crush on her, Jess convinces her friend

The author has an amazing knack of thinking, writing and talking like a 15 year old girl! The plot is at once realistic and overblown--just the way the lives of 15 year olds seem to be! Jess, the protagonist, is looking forward to the visit of Edouard, a French exchange student, who will be living with her and her mom for a fortnight. From the point when they exchange introductory until they say farewell, there is lots of drama, mayhem, misunderstandings, and silliness. I laughed out loud at som

This is a book with a great sense of humor. It's a story about 15-year-old Jess, who lives in England and hosts a French exchange student for two weeks. The basic plot revolves around Jess and how she and her friends react to their temporary French invasion (every student in Jess' French class hosts an exchange student), but the real story is about a young teenager finding her way among her friends, accepting herself, and maneuvering thr More...

This book was great. Jess is a girl who lives in England, and when her french exchange partner comes to stay eith her for 2 weeks, she freaks out because she's not good at speaking french. I thought it was very imature of her mom and dad, because they wouldn't talk to echother over the phone or anything. Jess would always have to be delivering messages to her parents. It was also funny because in some parts of the book bad things happen to Jess that made me laugh. i am very much looking forward

In this cute prequel to Girl, 15, Charming But Insane, Jess and her friends are involved in a foreign exchange with a school in France. Jess's partner is a boy named Edouard who is incredibly short and can barely speak any English. The physical humor in this novel is great as the kids go on a disastrous camping trip in the English countryside and Jess has to borrow clothes from the aunt of one of the kids.

This book was ok, it isn't one of my absolute favorites, but it's different. Most of the books I read are by Meg Cabot, but since I almost read all her teen books, I decided to try another author. I found this book in the public library, it's part of a series. I just decided to try it out, and it's pretty good :)

I loved this book! I read Girl 15, Charming but Insane first so I was a little confused until I realised that this was sort of a prequel. Jess Jordan is someone I can relate, Fred is thee best friend any girl can ask for, Flora's kinda of a bitch at times. All of which set up a fanstastic book!

Girl, Barely 15: Flirting for England is a prequel in a series about a British teen humorously navigating the obstacles that are common to most teenagers. I found the book "laugh out loud" funny in many places, but it was a typical book of its genre.

I now have a great new series to suggest to readers who love realistic fiction that doesn't get too heavy or dramatic. This book provides lots of laughs and pertinent insight into the mind of this girl, barely 15.

So, this is the prequel to Girl, 15, Charming but Insane, which is a hilarious book. This one? Not so much.
In this outing, Jess is faced with entertaining a French exchange student. His name is Edouard, and he is basically a nerdy shrimp. Who only speaks French. Her best mate, Flora, hosts the charming Marie-Louise, and their pal, Jodie, hosts the sexy Gerard.
When the girls cook up a camping party with the exchange students, hilarity and hurt feelings ensue.

This book is really hilarious and I enjoyed reading it very much. The protagonist of the book, Jess is a very funny girl and always a positive-thinker. I was encouraged by her very much because even her parents have divorced, she does not let the people around feel it because she behaves very positively. This book taught me to overcome the difficulties always be positive.

My fave lines from the book:
"Still in the arms of Morpheus, as the saying goes. Who was Morpheus by the way?
I don't know. But he certainly gets aroud. Everyone's always in his arms. Evidently a hideous flirt."
"Oh by the way, he split his trousers this evening by falling downstairs."
"Pascal was seeing other girls? Ze bastarde! All boys are peegs!... Oh no. I'm even thinking in a French accent now."
