th i r teen / 13 Think and talk Have you ever had to wear clothes you didn’t like? This is the funniest book I have ever read, I can't wait until the next book in the series. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little laugh. The Guardian I thoroughly enjoyed this book so much so that I finished reading it within a day! www.goodreads.com nnnnn I really liked this book, and I was determined to read it in two days ... I could have probably read it in one day, if I didn’t start reading it so late ... My mum was too busy to take me shopping with her, so she had got it all off the Internet. Nothing was the right size. The shirt I kind of expected. For it to be big enough to fit round my neck meant that the arms hung down almost to the floor. I looked like a shaved orangutan. The trousers were too tight. Not way too tight, which would have been better, because then my mum would have sent them back. No, the trousers were just tight enough to make them uncomfortable, to make me think that undoing the button and allowing my belt alone to keep them up might be a good idea. The blazer – yep, it was that kind of school – sort of fitted, but the problem was that it was PURPLE. You heard me right, PURPLE. I’ll say it again. PURPLE. What were they thinking of when they decided to make the blazer purple? I looked like a giant plum. The new school shoes Mum had got me fitted OK, but they were black and shiny and looked like the kind of loser-shoes the absolute lowest low-down guy in a boring office might wear. The guy who makes the tea for the guy who refills the office stapler. I’ve seen newly-laid dog poo with more style than those shoes. I’d have been better off tying two biscuit tins to my feet and going off clanking down the road. NOTE TO SELF: NEVER AGAIN LET YOUR MUM BUY YOUR SCHOOL SHOES OR ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WEAR THAT PEOPLE COULD POSSIBLY ONE DAY SEE.
