Will se encuentra en medio de una guerra: el lugar, su propia casa; el enemigo, su hermana Estelle. Hace falta mucha paciencia y un gran sentido del humor para aguantar el ambiente familiar que ella provoca. Afortunadamente, Will va a encontrar una solución. La autora de Señora Doubtfair (que se convirtió en película con Robin Williams como protagonista) y de Billy y el vestido rosa, dibuja en este libro un acertado retrato de esos adolescentes especialmente difíciles.

Nobody wants Tulip in their gang. She bunks off school, is rude to the teachers and makes herself unpopular with her classmates by telling awful lies. But none of this matters to Natalie who finds Tulips behaviour exciting and dangerous. At first she doesnt care that other people are upset by Tulips bizarre games but as the games become increasingly dangerous and sinister, Natalie realises that Tulip is going too far. Way too far...Tulip becomes even more destructive and after a row with Natalie she commits a terrible crime.

Colin is in many ways an ideal citizen. He holds down a responsible job for the council. He visits his aged mother Nora, shops for her, cooks for her, and listens to her grumbles. He also keeps in touch with his sister Dilys, long estranged from her mother, in a vain attempt to maintain family ties. But neither Dilys, Norah nor Colins colleagues know about his other - much more secret - life that involves a garden shed, a circus acrobat, a much adored three-year-old charmer, and a certain Mr Haksars increasingly disquieting penchant for squabbling with his neighbours. What Colin doesnt know is that, thanks to a house insurance policy incorrectly filled in by his mother, his two lives are set to collide, and there is nothing he can do to stop them. With her customary wit and perception, subtle yet razor sharp in her powers of observation, Anne Fine has produced another tour de force. Her portrait of the complex dynamics of family relationships is as lucid as it is uncomfortable, ending with a climax that in its wry irony and sheer unexpectedness is truly shocking.

The Palmer sisters are close. They see each other often, they care for one another''s children and houses and pets. They lend each other books, spare heaters and clothes for special occasions. Their phones ring in a ceaseless chat about in-laws and job plans and anxieties and triumphs. They never keep any secrets from each other - until now. Stella tells Bridie a rumour she''s heard about Liddy''s new boyfriend. Bridie is shocked, and discusses it with Heather. But should they tell Liddy, and risk ruining her new-found happiness? Bridie persuades her sisters that they should, but when Liddy reacts badly, the other two backslide and Bridie becomes the outcast, bereft of the sisterly support system on which she has based her whole life.
