A classic, funny and moving coming-of-age story.
It all began the day my brother and I decided to poison our mother.
This is Nancy’s story. Naturally inquisitive, she’s always getting into trouble, along with her dreamer, pain in the butt older brother Andrew, best friends Clare and Amy who live in the back of an old car, and weird sisters Sandra and Tracy, with their magazines full of boys. The children have known each other and their families for ever but everything they thought they knew, is about to change.
Filled with sparkling ideas and vivid dialogue, this is the story of a summer when old dreams are shattered and new dreams are born. For Nancy and her friends, things will never be the same.
