My name is Zelah Green and Im still here. Summers supposed to be good, right? But Im stuck at home with a lousy laptop, stacks of homework to start and dad being more useless than ever. And then Caro turns up out of the blue, all heavy metal and piercings and attitude and my boring summers turned upside down. Its like she knows just what to say to wind me up, sending my OCD right out of control . . .
Full of quirky humour and real heart, Zelah Green: One More Little Problem touches on mental health problems with a genuine warmth and empathy. The first in a genuinely brilliant book for teenage girls not quite ready to move on to Jodi Picoult.
