Best Friends, Worst Luck
A witty and well-observed book about the tribulations experienced by a fashion-conscious 12-year-old who leaves London in order to live in Somerset at her new stepfather's farm. Her struggles to cope with the unromantic smells and textures of farm life, with the loss of old friends and the messy creation of new ones are described amusingly, but with great feeling. The happy resolution is easy to see coming, but arrives not untinged by sadness. A good story, reflecting challenges that will be familiar to many children.
