Produktbeschreibung

Parents - Aaaaargh!
Jemma's are out of date. They still think she should wear the hand-knitted jumper with little bears on it to school - and they call her petal in public!
Laura's are divorced. Gone is the lovely big house. Now it is a grotty little one. And her mum was seen kissing Melvyn outside Tesco . . .
Sumitha's want her to keep their cultural traditions - which don't include boys, make-up or a trendy hair cut . . .
Jon's keep bragging about his academic brilliance - but in reality it's not stellar, nor is it where his heart is . . .
Chelsea's mum is a writer of ghastly features for the local paper, an agony aunt and a wearer of mini-skirts . . .
The five teenagers' paths (and those of their mortifyingly embarrassing parents) cross and part throughout this hilarious book set in Leehampton.

Autorenporträt

Rosie Rushton began her career as a feature writer for a local paper. STAYING COOL, SURVIVING SCHOOL was her first book, published by Piccadilly Press in 1993. After writing another non-fiction title, YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, I HATE YOU!, Rosie turned to fiction. A conversation with Piccadilly turned to embarrassing parents and The Leehampton Quartet was born.

Rosie lives in Moulton, Northamptonshire. She is a school governor of a new secondary school is a Reader in the Church of England. Her hobbies are: tracing her family history to see who she can blame for her dottiness, fine wine and food - an interest to which her buttocks bear evidence - travelling the world, being with her grandchildren, walking, theatre, reading and all things Indian. In the future she wants to write a TV drama for teenage audiences, visit Kathmandu, write the novel that has been pounding in her brain for years but has never quite got to the keyboard, and learn to slow down and smell the roses.
