Peter Ferguson.
Quirky, spunky Lucy Rose is as busy (and exhausting) as ever. It's hard work helping family friends open a bakery while coping with the "dreaded" Ashley who's forever picking on her. Playful language and clever use of idiom add sparkle to the oft-used diary format as Lucy Rose struggles over whether to get back at Ashley and how to keep the friends she has.
