    About this ebook

    The first in a series about a deeply loveable protagonist, by a writer with an impeccable ear for a real teenage voice

    Primrose Leary has just started middle school. Likes: her pet rat, Roderick; her best friend, Joel; and being a little bit different (but not in the weird different sense—she wouldn't like to be the only bald girl in her class or the only girl who always smelled of ham, or anything). Dislikes: living with Fintan (her mustachioed dad), the boy-school that Joel's toddled off to without her, and not having her mother around any more. Hilariously and cleverly written, Prim Improper is the debut novel from Deirdre Sullivan.

      How not TO RELAX

      Apr 10, 2024

      ‘What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare?’ wrote a chap called William H. Davies, the poet laureate of the duvet day. He coined those words in 1911, which was clearly a more relaxed age. I’d like to see Mr Davies attemp

      A quite charming story about a girl, her rat (Roderick), her best friend (male, and not like that), and the changes moving to secondary school brings, along with the issues of having recently lost her mum and having to move in with her father, who has been mostly missing most of her life. It's told from the point of view of undated kinda diary entries with scarcasm and wit and with enough tinges of pathos to make it very real. Very well written, quite enjoyable and would be invaluable for a teen who has recently experienced loss, or even for their friends so they could empathise.
