The Rise and Rise of Tabitha Baird by Arabella Weir

(Review by Megan :D)

After Tabitha's parents split up, she, her mum and her younger brother all move to London to live with Gran. Tabitha wants to make a good impression in her new school so when she makes good friends with A'isha and Emz and makes the class laugh in her first few days, things are starting to look good for her. With her school friends expecting cool things from her, Tabitha is anxious about their thoughts of her un-cool family. Gran expects Tab to walk her dog Basil with his ridiculous knitted outfits on in public, her mum is going on about her weight all the time and Luke her younger brother will not stop annoying her!

Arabella Weir has successfully captured a young teenager's mind through funny and witty narrative. It is a lively read that I found gripping and enjoyable. The book recommends for teens, but I found it 10+.
