Hits and Misses of Melody Moss book 1

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Meet your new bestie Melody Moss in a hilarious new series about friendship, school and what it takes to survive being twelve!

'Mum said when I turned twelve, things would start to change.
I didn't think she meant EVERYTHING.'

Melody Moss is starting high school and EVERYTHING is going WRONG!

Her BFF has forgotten the Forever bit and has found New Friends (aka The Clones).
Her mum is taking food experimentation to a disgusting level.
Her big sister pretends she doesn't even exist.
Her dog farts ALL THE TIME.
And, her new crush has pushed her firmly into the Friend Zone.

She's holding it together, but only just.

When a competition is announced to see who can write and direct the school musical, Melody JUMPS at the chance.

Will dancing octopuses (octopi?), a possibly life-threatening babysitting gig and a new friendship with a fellow musical-theatre tragic be just what Melody needs to get out of this mess?
