Chessie is a fourteen year old girl, madly in love with Lloyd Layton from her class. Problem is, he never ever notises her.But that will change in the new school year if Chessie has a saying here.Armed with her two best friends, Debs and Evan at her side, she spends the entire year getting Lloyd to notise her...and notice her he does....just not the way Chessie wants him to.Dying her hair pink with food dye, and has it ending in a catastrophe, stapping him at sports day and having him believe that her - imaginary - stepdad beats her up, are just a few of her many and funny mistakes.Poor Chessie is like 97% of all girls in school that wants someone to notice her, and we are lucky enough to get her story.As you get to know Chessie she is a sweet, caring and amazing friend, that has a few flaws as we all have, but don't really get to see what is important in life...but did we ever when we were fourteen?As I read this wonderful book, my mind drifted to Rebecca Bloomwood, (Sophie Kinsella's heroine in "The secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic"). Somehow I think that Chessie can grow up to be Rebecca, or Rebecca could be Chessie at fourteen.Read this book...Are you fourteen like Chessie or forty four like me, you are in for a real treat.
