My Family and Other Freaks

Danielle fancies Damian, the coolest boy in school, but he’s with the totally gorgeous and always fashionable Treasure. Danni’s attempts to get noticed are always ruined by her embarrassing family including her beloved but smelly dog Simon. Even with help from best friend Amber, how can she compete with Treasure and get Damian to fall for her?

This account of Danni’s efforts to prise Damian away from Treasure and the events that unfold along the way is laugh-out-loud funny. The diary format makes it easy to read, and the all the familiar ups-and-downs of friendship and romance will make this an appealing story for younger teenage readers.
