My name is Rebecca Rafferty, and I know that this is going to be the best summer ever.
Well, maybe.
On the plus side, holidays mean no school for three months. And my band Hey Dollface are going to a cool summer camp where we will (hopefully) learn how to become total rock stars. Which is all good, obviously.
But there are problems too. There are summer exams, a band of mean boys out to spoil our fun, my friend Cass’s love life is complicated and my own love life just doesn’t really exist at all ...
The third installment of the award-winning series about Rebecca Rafferty.
My name is Rebecca Rafferty, and my mother has ruined my life. Again.
I didn't mind her writing boring books for grown-ups. But now she's written one about an awful girl my age and everyone thinks it's me!
Including the boy who delivers our newspapers, aka Paperboy, aka the most gorgeous boy in the whole world. Oh, the shame!
And if that wasn't awful enough, the biggest pain in my class wants to use my 'fame' to get herself on the reality show 'My Big Birthday Bash'.
I've just got to show everyone the REAL Rebecca. But how?
Life is complicated enough already, but when you try to solve your big sister’s relationship problems, it can only mean trouble!
Rebecca isn't looking forward to school after a summer full of music and excitement. To make it worse, her most annoying classmate Vanessa gets the starring role in a new ad campaign: now she's going to be on television, on posters, on the radio and even in the charts!
Luckily a new arts and music studio space for teens has opened up where Hey Dollface and their summer camp friends can practise.
Then Rebecca’s sister Rachel is dumped by her longtime boyfriend Tom, and Rebecca is determined to cheer her up.
Throw in a dad who is trying to take over his amateur musical, a mum who keeps reminding her that it's a big exam year, and an English teacher who has decided to become a novelist, and it's another eventful term for Rebecca.
'It reminded me of being a teenager, the nice parts! It's a perfect piece of hilarious loveliness! Gold Star!!!!' Marian Keyes
