Treasure is thirteen years old. She is bright and well-balanced: her best friend (this week) is Rosie, her Doc Martens are in Crouch End and her school shoes are nowhere on earth. But Treasure has a problem - her mother. 'I hate you,' she hisses. 'You're so embarrassing...you spoil everything.' Her 'uncool' mother lets her party until midnight; acts as her chauffeur and her fund raiser; takes her shopping for worm-like tops and dresses - but she can't even begin to know what it is to be a teenager.
Treasure first appeared in the Guardian and has featured on Radio 4. She is now the star of a BBC TV series.'The ruthless mutual self-criticism is beautifully caught' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Hilarious' GLASGOW HERALD
