Product Description
Product Description
My name is Zelah Green and I am a Cleanaholic. I spend most of my life on Germ Alert. Or Dirt Alert. It's a miracle I ever get to school.My life was going OK despite that - you know, school, best friend, bad hair days - until four weeks ago. That's when Dad vanished.Now my stepmother has packed me off to a place with some crazy people. So I'm stuck with the Doc and Alice, Lib, Caro and Sol.Sol, who doesn't speak. Sol, who has brown eyes and olive skin. Sol, who I actually want to touch. Now I'm on Flirt Alert!Maybe, just maybe, something good could happen...This is a moving story of one girl's attempt to come to terms with her grief, told with humour and real insight.
From the Author
The inspiration for Zelah actually came off a signpost on the way to Cornwall. I though it would make a good name for a character, so when I wanted to write something about a teenager battling with OCD, the name just kind of popped up again. OCD in adults is very much in the press (Justin Timberlake apparently has it, as does David Beckham), but thousands of children suffer the illness too. I wanted to tackle the issue with a liberal dollop of humour, so I created Zelah. The framework for the novel is actually the classic tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but rewritten for today's kids - you'd never know, unless you're particularly good at picking up on tiny clues!. Zelah's no Princess, even though that's what her father calls her - she can be a bit of a handful, as you'll see - but she's got a good heart.
