Petunia Perry has decided to write her memoirs. She wants the world to know what it's like to start secondary school with a best friend who stages one-person flash mobs in the canteen, a mother who over-shares at parents' evenings and an unwelcome suitor who draws pictures of her as a unicorn.

But it's when she decides to start a band with a spoon-player and a lead-singer who's a cat that things take a turn for the truly crazy... A laugh-out-loud take from the bestselling author, Pamela Butchart, on the perils of standing out in secondary school.

Petunia Perry dares to be different but it's not always easy.

But it is always life-affirming and hilarious, and definitely the right thing to be... With a brilliant cover and incidental illustration by Gemma Correll.

Pamela is also the author of the Izzy series for younger readers:Baby Aliens Got My TeacherThe Spy Who Loved School Dinners My Headteacher is a Vampire RatThe Demon Dinner LadiesTo Wee or Not to WeeThere's a Werewolf in My Tent The Phantom Lollipop ManThere's a Yeti in the PlaygroundIcarus Was RidiculousThe Broken Leg of Doom
