Product Description
Product Description
Join fabulously funny (undiscovered) rock chick, Candy Caine on a rollercoaster ride to the world's biggest music festival. A sharp, comic teen series from uber-cool presenter Lauren Laverne. Misunderstood musical genius Candy Caine - age fifteen - knows she's destined for a bigger life beyond her small-town existence. And now Mum is marrying The World's Dullest ManTM it's time to put plans into action and achieve world domination with her band, The Broken Biscuits. Oh - and find her real dad, who will most definitely be cool and, of course, will verify her own super specialness. With a battered old guitar and some supernatural assistance, can Candy get her life on track and her new band on the road to greatness? Candy Caine is the hilarious new creation of debut author Lauren Laverne - a writer who's been there, done that and customised the T-shirt.
About the Author
Lauren first came into the spotlight as a singer in the cult indie group Kenickie, later moving into broadcasting, presenting shows such as CD:UK, The Culture Show, The Brits and Glastonbury. She has interviewed everyone from Sir Paul McCartney, U2 and Madonna to Dizzee Rascal and Little Boots. After encouragement from her husband of four years (who said "you're an excellent speller") Lauren recently began writing again. She is a Grazia columnist and has also written for the Guardian.

Format:Paperback
I read the first chapter of this book only because it was one of many samples included in the World Book Day iPhone app, I didn't know what to expect as we all know the author from the music industry rather than a teen author but judging on the first chapter she's about to make a lot of noise on the literary scene (excuse that bad joke but I had to include it!) The book may be aimed at early teens and although I'm in my mid twenties I'm buying it for myself and I'll keep it for my newborn until she's in her teens, I'm sure she'll find the topics relevant and enjoy it as much as I will.

This book is SO funny!
Candy Caine is a brill character, a bit of a misfit, and there are some very funny/awkward boy moments that make you feel embarrassed for her! Most of all you feel like you could know her, she's very real and I can really relate to her wanting to get out of her town and get onto bigger things.
Can't wait for the next book!!

I've been a fan of Lauren's for years, so only thought it right to get my daughter this book when I heard about it and I have never heard her so quite in all my life, she loves it and is now on her second read so far
