An entertaining and charming story about an eccentric, loveable
family - 'Endearingly funny' 5-star review, Telegraph Chloe Deal is
observant. Every day she notices small details - like how Front
Door always refuses to open when it's raining; how whatever task he
sets out to do, Daddy usually ends up snoozing to the radio in his
shed; how her younger sister Daisy muddles her similes but never
her fashion sense, and how Mummy's nostrils flare when Dad forgets
to mow the lawn, again. So when Chloe starts a school project about
her house, she ends up cataloguing the chaotic balancing act of her
family along with it. In the run up to the school holidays (and
Chloe's birthday), disaster follows disaster at home and school.
Mummy's patience is beginning to unravel. Can Chloe get the house,
her siblings and her father in shape before it's too late?

So when she spots a poster for a talent show at school, she knows she has to enter. Then troublemaker Sabrina suggests they enter together and Galaxy is shocked. Firstly, that they actually have something in common, and secondly that Sabrina suggests they form a rock band!

She’s about to say no when Sabrina points out that Beyoncé and Lauryn Hill both got their start being in a band and agrees that Galaxy can be lead singer. So she hesitantly decides to share the spotlight. But when the only students interested in joining their band are Grace, a socially awkward goody two shoes, and Galaxy’s little sister Zaya, is Galaxy’s chance at stardom over before it’s even begun??

an addictive whodunit perfect for fans of Gossip Girl and A Good
