Note: There is a slight change in style of review, as explained in this post. I'm putting more info in the themes section, putting content (humour, mature etc) separately and sticking with 1 line for my thoughts as to what made the book sparkle.
January 2013, Red Fox
320 pages, Ebook
Personal Copy
Themes: sibling rivalry, living with a teen sister, being disheartened, all or nothing view point, experimenting, trying out new aupairs, missing the past, an insanely mischievous younger sister, trials of living with a writer, being away from friends/family, putting pressure on yourself, moments when life sucks, the powerful force of a mother on the rampage, the randomness of writers
Content: laughter on virtually every page, tissues most definitely needed
Summary from Random House Children's Books
After securing herself a best friend and settling into London life, Pea
is now contemplating her future and what exactly she should be when she
grows up. Should she be a writer (like Mum)? An artist (like their crazy
new au pair Klaudia)? A footballer? A pet therapist? Join Pea as she attempts to find out the answers - with hilarious results!
Nayuleska's thoughts
Pea's sisters are a scream - I love the 10 minute rule for Clover, and can't believe how devious Tink is.
You can find out more on Susie's website.
Suggested read
Definitely read Pea's Book of Best Friends also by Susie.
