It isn't easy for Minna being the only sensible one in the family, her Mum's got a punk rock boyfriend called Crusher, Granny stops speaking to Mum, Crusher runs over a dog when he's trying to sell his car, Minna's teacher wants an essay about her biological father who she's never even met and her classmates think she's really lucky. Minna is at the end of her tether, being sensible all the time isn't much fun but if she doesn't look after them all nobody else will. Anne Fine is one of the greatest contemporary children's novelist, her books are hilariously funny with an underlying theme sending a positive message to youngsters.
