Jenny Carruthers is eleven years old—and the odd one out.
Her brother Brian has curly brown hair and blue eyes. Her baby sister Janine is a golden-haired cherub. Even her exhausted, frazzled mother fits the family mould. But Jenny? Straight black hair. Brown eyes. Always in the middle, never quite belonging.
With Dad stuck in hospital and Mum stretched to breaking point, Jenny feels invisible. Overlooked. Unloved. So she decides to stop trying to be good—and starts making choices that spiral further and further out of control.
A forbidden friendship. A reckless act of rebellion. A desperate attempt to finally look like she belongs.
But fitting in isn't about what you look like on the outside. And sometimes it takes making the worst mistakes to discover where you truly belong.
A warm, honest middle-grade novel about family, identity, and learning that the people who drive you crazy are often the ones who love you most.
