Everyone's got major lurve-action except Electra.

She hates swimming against the tide; she'd rather go with the flow. She should be planning how to hook a hunk, but all she can think is, What's for lunch?

She can be VERY shallow.

Review

'A light hearted read and a real treat for those lazy summer days in the sun. MKP readers are guaranteed to be laughing out loud when indulging in the crazy world of Electra Brown - zits-and-all!' (Mykindaplace website 20080707)

'We love her!' (Mizz magazine 20090319)

About the Author

Helen Bailey was born and brought up in Northumberland, a county she still regards as home. Barely into her teens, Helen invested her pocket money in buying a copy of The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook and spent the next few years sending short stories and poems to anyone she could think of. Much to her surprise, she sometimes found herself in print. After a degree in science, Helen worked in the media and now runs a successful London-based character licensing agency handling internationally renowned properties such as Snoopy, Felicity Wishes, Dilbert and Zorro. She now divides her time between London and Broadstairs on the Kent coast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Book! 29 Jun 2009

A Kid's Review

Format:Paperback

I think that swimming against the tide is a brilliant book, where she gets to meet her cousin Mandy, and reveals more about Electra's (surprisingly deep) character. Once i picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I was laughing like a loony all night!
