Send to friendProblem for Patricia when her family decide to emigrate to Australia; there's the pain of parting and the difficulties of settling into a new country. Some tears, setbacks at school, one nasty, several nices, super parents (Mum's zingy with a sewing machine), enter the love interest on page 158, and Patricia/Patches (Beautiful, good-natured, kind, dog lover) triumphant at the happy ending: all add up to jolly good read for a wet Sunday. Particularly recommended for those graduating from teenage romance comics.
