A friend recommended this book to me. In this book, the main character, Jules, discovers a horrible secret about her family, that will change her and the people around her's lifes dramatically. I liked the way that there was also quite a bit about Jules starring in "The Northern Lights" the play, as the main story-line dragged a bit in places. The book feels as if it could be real, which I think is an important element in this type of book. I thought the plot was good, but a little too predictable. I would recommend this book to people aged 13 and up who enjoy a thought-provoking story-line.

This is a fantastic read! From the first page, you can't help but warm to Jules, (called Brick-Face at school because of her blushing.)
When Jules reads about the audition for Northern Lights, she dreams of getting the part of Lyra, little anticipating the real-life drama unfolding at home.
Her dad, is usually 'the best laugh in the world.' Now he's hardly smiling. When he leaves home taking his CDs but leaving behind a favourite photo of his daughter, Jules's world takes a bewildering turn. At first she blames her mother. Suspecting her of having an affair, she imagines horrible punishments for her.
'Chinese water torture. Boiling Oil.'
This is a book which will make you laugh and cry. Lee Weatherly writes with a crackling warmth, energy and humour, that kept this reader turning the pages to the end in one sitting. Brilliant Stuff.
