Just Don't Make a Scene, Mum!
(1995)(The first book in the Leehampton series)
A novel by Rosie Rushton
Parents - Aaaaargh!
Jemma's are out of date. They still think she should wear the hand-knitted jumper with little bears on it to school - and they call her petal in public!
Laura's are divorced. Gone is the lovely big house. Now it is a grotty little one. And her mum was seen kissing Melvyn outside Tesco . . .
Sumitha's want her to keep their cultural traditions - which don't include boys, make-up or a trendy hair cut . . .
Jon's keep bragging about his academic brilliance - but in reality it's not stellar, nor is it where his heart is . . .
Chelsea's mum is a writer of ghastly features for the local paper, an agony aunt and a wearer of mini-skirts . . .
The five teenagers' paths (and those of their mortifyingly embarrassing parents) cross and part throughout this hilarious book set in Leehampton.
Genre: Children's Fiction
