Gospođica Knedlica

Gospođica Knedlica

Julie Murphy

Although her mom, a former beauty queen, affectionately calls her Dumpling, Willowdean has always been comfortable in her own skin.

With his best friend Ellen, a real All-American beauty, Will spends his high school days carefree... until he gets a job at Harpy, a local fast food restaurant. There she meets Bo "from the private school", a handsome former basketball player. Will is not surprised that Bo is attracted to her, but she is not a little surprised when she realizes that he likes her too.

Instead of gaining even more confidence in his relationship with Bo, Will begins to doubt himself. In order not to put an end to it, she decides to do something unimaginable: she applies for the Miss Teen Blue Bonnet beauty contest - along with several other, to put it mildly, unusual candidates - all in order to show the world that she deserves to be on stage just like any skinny girl. Along the way, he will turn the whole of Clover City upside down, but most of all, his own life.
