The Mixed-Up Summer of Lily McLean
£6.99
Also available as: eBook
Reasons why this is the BEST summer ever:
I get a FREE holiday, all on my own! (Except for Gran.)
Thats a whole week without my moany, vampire-obsessed
teenage sister or my little brother - the terrible twosome.
I get to miss my primary school Leavers Dance and avoid
wearing my sisters ghastly hand-me-down pink dress!
Reasons why this is the WORST summer ever:
Marshmallow ice cream cant f ix everything. (Yes, seriously!)
Ive made a new friend who tells me ALL her secrets
but I can't tell her mine.
My secret? I'm hearing a voice, and either I'm being haunted or I'm going crazy. And I don't know which is worse
