| book description |

A hilarious and deeply moving diary novel from bestselling author Alex Barclay â€“ this might just be the funniest book ever to make you cry your eyes out. This is the diary of me, Ellery Brown, aged fifteen and a half. Iâ€™m supposed to use it to record my feelings about my mum, since she died. So why do I keep thinking about who my dad might be, instead . . . ? I have so much STUFF to think about â€“ including a whole new life in Ireland. So why can I not stop thinking about my DAD? Especially because it is so weird to think about someone you donâ€™t know. Like, literally, I have NO IDEA who my dad is. My best friend Meg has narrowed it down to three authors my mum knew. (She was an author too.) But theyâ€™re not just in different countries; theyâ€™re on different CONTINENTS. Which means fake IDs, passports, plane tickets, and somehow getting away from my self-obsessed grandmother . . . One thingâ€™s for sure: this year is going to be INTERESTING.
