Summary
A coming of age story about self-discovery and independence from the Queen of Tween, Jean Ure. ‘I’ve always been the quiet one in my dramatic family. Not a drama queen, or a genius composer, or a twin, but Just Peachy. Mum says I’ve got my own thing going on… I just wish I knew what that was! When I decide I want to attend Sacred Heart school rather than Summerville where my family have always gone everyone finally stops to listen! Stepping out on my own is scary, but I need space to find out who I am and what I’m good at.’ A new novel from Jean Ure, about a girl trying to find who she really is – and maybe a friend along the way… In Just Peachy, Jean Ure masterfully explores the best of juvenile fiction, weaving a tale of friendship and self-discovery that resonates with kids and adults alike. The social issues tackled in the story are presented in a way that is both engaging and enlightening, making it a must-read in children's literature. For fans of Katie Kirby (The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks), Tom Fletcher (The Christmasaurus), Liz Pichon (Tom Gates 17), Dav Pilkey (Dog Man), and Jen Carney (The Day My Dog Got Famous).
