Rebecca is fourteen, and finding out that life is becoming increasingly complicated. Having to live with a gross brother called "Frog Face", a grandfather who's into colour meditation, and the world's ugliest dog is no picnic. Throw in a best friend called Amber and a worst enemy called "The Grasshopper" and you have the ingredients for a fast paced, fun, and insightful glimpse into being a teenager. In this original and remarkably assured debut novel, Pauline Luke deals honestly and sympathetically with friendship, love and families through a series of snappy poems, diary entries, emails, recipes and drawings.
