Product Description

Review

Fruit and Nutcase "!this is an upbeat yet gritty story about the tenacity of love and the fact that life is never perfect." Scotland on Sunday Becky Bananas "!the writing transcends any trace of heaviness" Guardian --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Book Jacket

Mandy Small has trouble writing so Cat, her teacher, suggests that she tells her life story into a tape recorder. So begins Mandy's funny, and sometimes sad, story of life with her loving but irresponsible parents--Dad, the Elvis look-alike, and Mum, whose idea of a special meal is burnt toast. Then there is school, where the horrible Tracey Bigg picks on Mandy and her timid friend Oliver--not to mention Old Misery Guts, the landlady, and Nan, who thinks that Mandy's parents aren't fit to look after her. With so many things to worry about, Mandy begins to think that she is in danger of turning into a real fruit and nutcase.

This is the story of how Mandy learns to cope with her untidy life and finally emerges triumphant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 27 May 2000
This review is from: Fruit and Nutcase (Hardcover)
I'd recommend this book to readers of ten or eleven, but if you're a massive Jean Ure fan like me then you should get it anyway, however old you happen to be! It is a brilliant book, original and well-written. It's funny, but it has a serious side as well. Everyone should have a copy! Buy it now!
