Realising she's going to fail her English GCSE if she doesn't complete some kind of coursework, 15 year old Ellie Foster takes up her teacher's suggestion that she keep a diary of her 'family' holiday to Greece. 'Family' being her mum, her mum's hippy boyfriend, Trevor, his maniac twins, 8 year olds Sky and Blue, and the love child (mum and Trevor's baby). As if things weren't bad enough she needs to find a boyfriend on this trip or risk being labelled a loser and having to spend the rest of her school life with yellow toothed Lucy Telling as her only friend. Before she knows it, she's making a fool of herself in front of a Greek God, batting off an annoying nerd, hiding from her crazy Gran, getting Trevor arrested, and dealing with the return-of-the-father. Its a wonder she has time to write down anything at all...Engaging, entertaining and often laugh-out-loud funny, this book perfectly captures the conflicts and conundrums that come with being on the brink of adulthood and addresses a host of contemporary issues - such as blended families, peer pressure and teenage sexual relationships.
