Just a Little Disco on an Open-Top Bus by Candy Guard
Welcome to the world of Edie Dudman, girl in a rut, circa 1985. Edie's life would be great if it weren't for the fact that everything always goes a bit wrong. She's the girl whose tights go twisty at the crotch. She's the girl whose mum has bits of crisp permanently glued to her teeth, whose boyfriend is a two-timing bastard and whose rabbit, Flopsie, is always swiping at her nastily with its paw. Still, at least she has a perfect ex-best friend to highlight her flaws even more intensely and a mean old one-legged neighbour to make her life hell. Throw in a dull job selling cream horns at Crustie's the Bakery and appreciate that it's a miracle Edie ever drags herself out of bed in the morning. But Edie needs a sharp kick up the backside - and maybe a sprinkling of good fortune and a Bach Flower Remedy or two - to make it off the Estate and into the Big Wide World. "Just a Little Disco on an Open-Top Bus" is a sheer delight with characters who will, almost literally, spring off the page and show you their faces with glee.
Candy Guard established her reputation for comic observation and witty dialogue with thirteen animated shorts for Channel 4, MTV and the BBC. Alongside a highly successful strip cartoon in the Observer magazine, Candy created Pond Life, an animated sitcom for Channel 4 that won numerous awards and both critical and popular acclaim. Just a Little Disco on an Open-Top Bus is her first novel.
