Girl, 15, Charming But Insane by Sue Limb
Girl, 15, Charming But Insane, huge bum, massive ears, seeks ...Well, seeks Ben Jones, but failing that, large Muslim-type burka garment to cover her deformities. Life can be trying when your best friend is a goddess, you are a woeful underachiever, and Ben Jones won't even look in your direction. Painfully spot on, Girl, 15 reveals with Technicolor precision the agony and the ecstasy (and the embarrassment) of being a teenager. With razor-sharp observation and deadpan humour we are offered a privileged peek at the life of Jess, 15, charming, but most definitely insane. This novel has a unique voice and humour that will make you want to read it again and again - if you can bring yourself to put it down in the first place.

Amidst the slapstick, Limb weaves such themes as friendship and rivalry, the importance or not of appearances and so forth this is pink lit that girls (and boys with a copy in a plain wrapper) will love.
