I love ‘Popstar Panic’ however ‘Her Ladyship’ has told me I have to tell you all that her favourate is ‘Millionaire Mayhem’.
These stories are all barmy and I mean barmy!! The parents are crackers and the kids are all easily embarrassed, so true to life – or in my house at least! I am the parent who stands outside her daughters classroom at end of school dancing about and waving in through the window at all the kids while blowing kisses or waving my arms like the embarrassing mother that I am. My mother did it to me so I am passing it along! This is why, I feel, these books speak to us so much as a family and especially to Alex as the child whose parents constantly are showing her up. Sure isn’t that why God gave us kids?!
