A hilarious and deeply moving diary novel from bestselling author Alex Barclay – 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. I’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 – 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 don’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 they’re not just in different countries; they’re on different CONTINENTS. Which means fake IDs, passports, plane tickets, and somehow getting away from my self-obsessed grandmother . . . One thing’s for sure: this year is going to be INTERESTING. Ellery's comedic yet poignant journey of self-discovery and dealing with grief takes her across continents, unravelling mysteries and unearthing stories that were buried with her mother. The black comedy and social themes embedded in this juvenile fiction make it a must-read for kids and parents alike. For fans of Casey Mcquiston (Red, White & Royal Blue), Judy Blume (Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret), Richard Osman (We Solve Murders), Karen M. Mcmanus (Such Charming Liars), and Robert Galbraith (The Ink Black Heart). HarperCollins Children's 2022
