School, friends and the chaos of family life, told with great warmth and charm. From the author of the well-received <i>Boys Don't Knit</i>
The Bookseller
It's a warm story, rather poignant at times, about an endearing, funny family that really tries to pull together despite the disasters and it's really held together with warmth and love.
South Wales Evening Post
This is a funny and heart-warming tale proving that perfect family life comes in many forms<b></b>
- Louise Heines, The Guardian
This book has made me belly laugh more than any other book I have read this year. T. S Easton had a wickedly delicious sense of humour and any child (or any adult!!!) will be giggling away to themselves throughout this book (...)Children aged 9-99 will adore this book! (...) can't recommend it highly enough!

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?
