Crow has been asked to do a high street collection. But Edie is worried about slave-children making the clothes, while Nonie is distracted by a gorgeous dancer at the Royal Ballet, whom Jenny thinks she should forget . . . But when fashion giant Miss Teen tells Edie to abandon her new campaign, the friends have some serious problems to solve that will test their loyalties to the limit. It seems their fashion fairytale is unravelling . . . From couture heaven in Paris to Bead Central in Mumbai, the girls are on a fashion adventure to find out if their dream is worth saving.

Aw, this book was just delightful fun. I liked the first book in the Threads series that I just couldn't wait for the second and third books to be released in the US and I bought them from Book Depository.

This series is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants meets Project Runway as four best friends

continue their fashion escapades in London. From dating gorgeous superstar boys to traveling the world in search of the truth behind Miss Teen's reported ethical clothing factories, Nonie, Edie, Jenny, and Crow are at it again. This is fluffy chick lit with a social conscience and just a really enjoyable read.

Here's hoping that someone gets their act together and publishes these in the States soon!

I found the first part of this book very slow, but once Nonie, Crow, Edie and Jenny arrived in Mumbai, India, the pace picked up and the story became far more interesting, and quite educational at times. The four girls, especially Nonie, were all likeable characters, and teenagers who enjoy novels

dealing with friendship groups and fashion will enjoy "Beads, Boys and Bangles."
