Granny was a Buffer Girl

A Carnegie Medal winner, this, and it's easy to see why. 18-year-old Jess is about to leave for a year in France and on the eve of her departure she is woven the web of family stories and secrets which she has long wanted to share. The 11 stories include her own where she comes to terms with her own impossible infatuation with an older, married man. The stories are real, the characters entirely believable: by the end of the book the family are well and truly alive - and the reader has become compulsive! Buy and read this book with third-years upwards - you'll be richly rewarded by the experience!
