Who wants to be one of three? And who wants to be the middle one of three? Polly is stuck in the middle, with a beautiful, fashion-conscious older sister and a high-achieving younger brother grabbing all the attention.

Jean Ure’s diary series includes: Shrinking Violet, Skinny Melon and Me, The Secret Life of Sally Tomato, Becky Bananas, This is Your Life and Fruit and Nutcase.

This is a great book which is very comforting if you feel you are overweight it shows someone's struggle and in the end i'm happy to say that it all turns out well. I think that this is one of Jean Ure's best books.

pumpkin pie is about a girl with a gorgeus, popular sister and a brainy brother and basically she feels left out. She goes through a time of felling frumpy and having an eating disorder but in the end she realises to have faith in your looks and have faith in yourselves as you can be what you want to be no matter who you are.
