»Sophie is good at school, and Mum’s pleased about that. Jessica has her boyfriend and, well, she’s just Jessica. And me? I’m nothing special. A bit of a failure.»

Aurore is Miss Impossible, a thirteen-year-old teenager surrounded by one hard-working little sister and a pretty older one, and yet to find her feet. Whether she’s at home, with friends or at school, there’s always something kicking off. Her parents threaten to send her to boarding school, her new French teacher confronts her with classic, or what Aurore sees as «ancient», literature. When her band then wants to put her in a frilly dress too, it’s all set to take a dramatic turn. How can you please everybody if you yourself want something totally different?
