This is a fun and funny memoir set in the sixties and seventies, in the market town of Bridgnorth. As a young girl, Bev is not as slender as she wants to be - she likes eating Curly Wurly bars, jam doughnuts and batter bits..'Overweight Schoolgirl Poisoned by Lard Overload Slips into Coma'Against the odds, she gains a place at Bridgnorth Grammar School, where she becomes interested in boys, French and netball (not necessarily in that order). Bev remembers her hometown, her teachers and her first kiss. She takes us to her first Motown disco - a mind-blowing experience of epic proportions. All of this is set against the background of her parents' divorce, her unconventional family life and her penchant for unhealthy snacks. If you were born in the fifties or sixties, remember pineapple chunks, The Man from U.N.C.L.E and going to the cinema with sixpence in your pocket, you might enjoy Bev's brand of unsentimental nostalgia and her whimsical style of writing. In books 2, 3 and 4 of the series Bev meets Carol and dives into more fun adventures, taking a university study break in France, working as a Bunny Girl and finally teaching in Seychelles!
