About this book
Petunia Perry - or Peri Perry, as she's now called, due to a fortunate mishap by one of the office ladies on the first day of primary school - is writing her memoir to fully explain why she's no longer friends with Cammy (lesson: don't name your child after a cheese) and why, therefore, she and Cammy's band are unlikely to be the Next Big Thing.
Confessional, hilarious and featuring a cat called Margaret, Peri's story has a strong character voice and tons of chaotic weirdness that will appeal to a wide range of readers.
