It's winter and the Pinkers are out of shape - so Dad decides to
use the whole family to test out his ideas for a new fit-in-four
weeks diet book. But after a few weeks of early morning runs and
cardboard flavoured ready meals, (meaning Peony needs chips and
double helpings of pudding at lunch every day to make up) Peony's
become so unfit can barely walk up the hill home. And she's
supposed to be climbing Mount Snowdon in just a few weeks! Can Gran
get the family back on track with some wise words and common sense?
Hilarious family comedy with a self-help twist.
Peony Pinker is fed up with her family. Her mum's working long
hours setting up her gardening business and her dad isn't pulling
his weight around the house, so they're arguing all the time. Her
big sister, Primrose, is stressed about her exams and taking it out
on everyone else including her lovely boyfriend Matt. Peony's Gran
tells her you can choose your friends but not your family; as you
can't have the family you want, you have to learn to want the
family you've got. 'Not possible!' thinks Peony. But Gran is sure
she'll think of something. As most of Gran's ideas go horribly
wrong, Peony knows there will be even more trouble ahead...
Everyone in Peony Pinker's family wants something. Her dad, a
sports reporter on the local paper, wants to get out of doing the
problem page while the agony aunt is missing; her mum wants to stop
working at the garden centre where all the plants keep dying; and
her big sister Primrose wants to be called Annabel. What Peony
wants most in the world - even more than she wants a dog - is to
stop Primrose's nasty new best friend Bianca from being horrible to
her. When Mr Kaminski next door tells them the secret of how to get
what you want, Peony decides it's time to put a stop to Bianca at
last. But can she get what she really wants?
