Description

Winner of France's biggest prize for teen and young adult fiction: A wickedly funny and life-affirming coming-of-age road trip story

Awarded the Gold, Silver and Bronze trotters after a vote by their classmates on Facebook, Mireille, Astrid and Hakima are officially the three ugliest girls in their school, but does that mean they're going to sit around crying about it?

Well . . . yes, a bit, but not for long! Climbing aboard their bikes, the trio set off on a summer road trip to Paris, their goal: a garden party with the French president. As news of their trip spreads they become stars of social media and television. With the eyes of the nation upon them the girls find fame, friendship and happiness, and still have time to consume an enormous amount of food along the way.
 
“One of the loveliest reading experiences I’ve had in years.” —Jennifer Niven, New York Times­-bestselling author of All the Bright Places and Holding up the Universe

Advance Praise

“One of my favourite YAs of recent years... Very funny and totally original, idiosyncratic and generous, sardonic and that kind of intelligent that makes you relax immediately.” — Katherine Rundell, author of Impossible Creatures

"Reading it makes you think anything is possible... If I was a teenager, it would make me realise how powerful I could be. I'm 37-years-old and I came away galvanised, hopeful, inspired. Piglettes is an utter joy, from start to finish - I hope it becomes a modern classic." – Pandora Sykes


"Brilliant and bonkers and incredibly charming." – Lisa Williamson, author of The Art of Being Normal

"The story of Mireille, Astrid, and Hakima made me cheer, cry, and cartwheel across the floor. Thank you, Clémentine Beauvais, for one of the loveliest reading experiences I've had in years." – Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places

"Pithy, powerful, laugh-out-loud funny." – Cathy Cassidy

"This book is a treasure - a tale about true friendship and standing up for yourself narrated by one of the wittiest, sharpest teen girl voices I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It made me want to pull my bikeout of the garage and ride through the streets yelling about lady power. I absolutely adored this story." – Jennifer Mathieu, author of Moxie

"Piglettes by Clémentine Beauvais is properly hilarious. You should read it." – Cat Clarke, author of Girlhood


“One of my favourite YAs of recent years... Very funny and totally original, idiosyncratic and generous, sardonic and that kind of intelligent that makes you relax immediately.” — Katherine Rundell...
