From bestselling author Beth Garrod comes a fantastically funny
wish fulfilment story. Perfect for fans of The Extremely
Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks and The Amazing Edie Eckhart.
Secondary school is ninety-eight days away, which means I'm running
out of time to break free from my totally embarrassing nickname
Breaking News Nelly . . . Why did it have to be me who tripped
playing netball and smashed a TV camera during the live report on
our new sports hall opening?! I desperately need a relaunch, but
it's hard when you have the worst luck in the world! At least I
have my best friends Clara and Jas. Even though nothing ever seems
to go right for us, we've always been in it together. Like the time
we wrote down our ultimate wishes but knew they wouldn't come true
. . . until they did! Now more and more of our wishes are being
granted, and we're having the best time ever! Maybe my fortunes
have changed and I have the chance to ditch my old identity and
become Totally Cool Nelly. Surely absolutely nothing is about to go
wrong . . .? Praise for Sister Switch: 'Hilarious!' Jenny
Valentine, author of A Girl Called Joy 'Blistering funny, this book
is a joyous, sunny, heart-warming treat!' Simon James Green, author
of Life of Riley 'World-class and whip-smart comedy.' Sibeal
Pounder, author of the Bad Mermaid series 'Beth Garrod is the queen
of capturing those funny-awful-awkward teen moments and she creates
such warm, loveable and relatable characters!' Perdita Cargill,
author of Diary of an Accidental Witch
