Being a bit weird can be a lot wonderful! Hilarious fiction about family, friends and a fool proof plan. For fans of Dork Diaries, Tom Gates and Wimpy Kid.

Children are like pancakes – the first one is always a bit weird.
Well, the first pancake in my family, is me.

Ellie finds it hard to focus on boring stuff like homework and chores. She would much rather hang out with her BFFFL Arya or play improv games in drama class. Mum and Dad want Ellie to be more like her eight-year-old brother Stewart, or as Ellie likes to call him, Mr Perfect.

But Ellie has a truly excellent, fool-proof plan to get out of doing homework, chores and school for good: she’s going to become a famous teenage pop star!
