Electra Brown - a name she can only blame her parents for - has lead a normal life…until now. Her life, as she knows it, is going ‘pear-shaped’. Her dad is moving out, her mum’s given in to her daytime TV addiction, and her little brother (aka The Little Runt) has just been caught shoplifting Tampax. Even the guinea-pig, Google, (blame parents again) is feeling the strain.
Together with her bosom buddies, they think up a cunning plan to find out whether her dad is having an affair with another woman. This involves some intriguing encounters with a class geek and some serious stalking. Whilst all this drama is going on, all Electra can think about is whether the colour of her eyeliner clashes with the colour of her eyes. But what really freaks her out is the worry of developing Mighty Mammaries, in other words, mums humungous boobs. As she so rightly says “No right-minded person would look forward to developing baps that big!”Electra’s hilariously shallow mind reflects her attitude to the turmoil in her life, taking everything in her stride. A light hearted read and a real treat for those lazy summer days in the sun. MKP readers are guaranteed to be laughing out loud when indulging in the crazy world of Electra Brown - zits-and-all!
