Gems is a series of books written specifically for struggling girl readers.

In this title following her supervillain parents being captured and locked away in jail, Melody Doom is adopted by a family who couldn't be more different to hers.

Her goody two shoes foster family are a complete nightmare.

They sing songs, wear bright colours and, worst of all, play charades every night!

Melody knows she needs to escape, but how? Hatching a plan involving her fluffy pink foster sister as a sidekick, Melody attempts to break into the jail and release her parents.

But will the pony-loving princess give the game away?
