A Tiny Bit Marvellous
Meet Mo Battle, about to turn 50 and mum to two helpless, hormonal teenagers. There's 17-year-old daughter Dora who blames Mo for, like, everything and Peter who believes he's quite simply as darling and marvellous as his hero Oscar Wilde. Somewhere, keeping quiet, is Dad... who's just, well... Dad. However, Mo is having a crisis.
A Tiny Bit Marvellous by Dawn French is the story of a modern family, all living in their own separate bubbles, lurching towards meltdown.

Description
The chart-topping, million-copy-selling comedian's brilliant first novel.
Everyone hates the perfect family. So you'll love the Battles.
Mo is about to hit the big 50, and some uncomfortable truths are becoming quite apparent:
- She doesn't understand either of her teenage kids, which, as a child psychologist, is fairly embarrassing.
- She has become entirely grey, inside and out.
- Her face has surrendered and is frightening children.
Dora is about to hit the big 18. . . and about to hit anyone who annoys her, especially her precocious younger brother, Peter, who has a chronic Oscar Wilde fixation.
Then there's Dad . . . who's just, well, dad.
A Tiny Bit Marvellous is the story of a modern family all living in their own separate bubbles and lurching towards meltdown. It is for anyone who has ever shared a home with that weird group of strangers we call relations.
Oh, and there's a dog. Called Poo.
