"The Day I Washed My Face in the Toilet" by Brenda Kearns is a fun read concerning a teenage girl who is plagued by her two eccentric siblings on a family trip to England.The book is full of hilarious episodes and colourful characters. A hyper or slightly autistic brother, the diva sister, a  difficult great-aunt or the demented Grandmother.Besides the comedy however the story touches on some serious issues such as the care for the elderly and what to do with problem children. The book remains light hearted with some uplifting moments and great humour.As with all good young adult fiction there is some food for thought and a message for tolerance and acceptance.Highly recommended.
