(2) 4-6 A move from London to the country plus a hefty dose of early adolescent angst have put Becca's self-image under siege. Craving friendship from "seriously cool and trendy" new acquaintances, she obsesses over her appearance and laments her "seriously weird family." Other issues (home schooling, diabetes) come into play, and it's all neatly intertwined. Good home truths, appealingly sweetened with humor.
