OMG! – My (Involuntary) Holiday at the Convent


Surrounded by nuns

Almost 13-year-old Amy can’t believe it: Instead of chilling with her friends during her holidays, she and her mother are going to a mother-child health retreat. She’s not a child anymore! Even worse: The retreat is at a convent, with nuns, church services and all that. When they arrive, Amy’s worst fears (including sharing a cell with her annoying baby sister, bad mobile reception and not one proper selfie-spot) come true. She has to get away! And that’s about the only thing that Amy and Hugo, a boy her age, seem to have in common. He, too, was forced to come to the convent. For better or worse, the two formulate an escape plan, but when they take action, everything goes wrong ...
