Abby struggles with feelings of anxiety about school during a period of family upheaval in this sensitive and touching story from Sally Nicholls.
Abby is used to it being just her and her dad at home, but now her dads new girlfriend Jen is moving in and everything is changing. Its not like Jen is an evil stepmother, though. Instead, Abbys problem is that Jen is just too nice! She constantly compliments Abby on everything from her appearance to her schoolwork, and Abby finds it fake and claustrophobic. But how can she explain to her dad how she feels when Jen hasnt really done anything wrong
