Description
Dork Diaries meets Hoop Dreams (or in this case, perhaps Hoop Nightmares) for a hilarious ride through that notorious tricky first year of high school.
The protagonist, Alma T Best, is sure to win fans with her deadpan narration and escalating panic as she tries to fit in at a new school while trying to work out who she wants to be.
A humorous, contemporary middle-grade novel for readers aged 9+, perfect for fans of Australian superstars like Matt Stanton, Fiona Hardy and Nat Amoore.
